fisherman's pie

Mashed-topped fish bake

Fisherman's pie is a British dish of fish and seafood in a creamy sauce, topped with mashed potato and baked until golden.

It typically contains white fish, salmon, and sometimes shrimp or hard-boiled eggs.

The dish parallels shepherd's pie and cottage pie, substituting fish for the meat filling: We had fisherman's pie with a green salad.
