Welcome to Sustainable Seafood in a Bowl Tuesday
In keeping with the British theme from Saturday's Cambridge Burnt Cream, I thought why not post another of my favorites. Fish pie is a dish I can eat everyday, or probably not, because I'd be about 350 lbs and quickly lose my sex appeal. However, it is an awesome way to eat incredibly wholesome sustainable seafood.
Again, here are some links for sustainable seafood information.
Lazaro's Blogcritics Author Page - Ha. See how I slipped that one in?! Shameless self promotion.
Enjoy...
White Ocean Shrimp, Spiny Lobster Meat, Calico Scallops, Pacific Halibut, Coho Salmon.
Blanched Leeks, Sweet Corn, Green Peas
For the Cream: Half & Half, Sea Salt, Grated Nutmeg, Allspice, White Pepper.
Aged Wisconsin Cheddar
Decadent Yukon Gold puree topping
Bake in oven and...
Dig in.
That's it for now...till we exchange a few words again...Peace!
thank you so much for checking out my guest post! (and for your ever so wonderful comments on my pictures!) I ate a lot of seafood this weekend and now this awesome fish pie has me craving more! You should be praised for your efforts in cooking with sustanible seafood. cheers!
ReplyDeleteOMG - wow, this is everything you could ever want in one dish topped off with cheese and my favorite kind of potato in beautiful little swirls?! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a fish pie to dig in! Always saw such unappealing fish pies, and this one looks more then edible !
ReplyDeleteNever had fish pie but I'm really liking the way yours looks. Creamy, cheesy, and topped with potatoes--I'm all over it! It seems like an awesome comfort food.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Lazaro, freakin' DROOL! I LOVE my seafood and am totally diggin' your pie! Creamy, cheesy, seafood-y? YES PLEASE! In fact, even the first picture already made me want to dig in. As you can tell, I absolutely have no problem eating my seafood sashimi style either. Beautiful dish and gorgeous pictures again! You'll never lose your sex appeal knowing how to serve up a dish as sexy as this ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow Lazaro, gorgeous pictures and what a lovely dish! Perfect for these cold days up north. You've done it again! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteLazaro, I think I'm in love!!! I have made scallop pie for years... an Irish favorite, but this is a million times better.. love the cheese addition. COmfort food at its finest... great photos too!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so delicious!!! I must try to make this sometime!
ReplyDeleteI am totally loving this! Just that bowl of fresh seafood itself is drool-worthy :) And then with the cheese and all - yum!
ReplyDeleteThat is one stunning fish pie - I can just imagine the crispy cheese topping and tender fish underneath - definitely have to make this soon because it's a real favourite of mine. I love the way you always put a great twist on traditional recipes. Beautifully photographed too; if only we didn't live so far apart!
ReplyDeleteMmm, the yukon gold puree did it for me. That looks SO good!
ReplyDeleteHa. You won't believe me on this. I just borrowed a fish cookbook from my friend and read it last night. There's a fish pie recipe and I've put it on the must-cook list! It's similar but they use pastry for a pie shell. This makes my mouth water!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing and wonderful bowl of heaven here! love love love it!
ReplyDeleteI just voted! ;) Wow, how is it that I never heard of fish pie?! This looks phenomenal, Lazaro!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like heaven!!! And I'm heading on over to vote now :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend!
Ooh, baby, your fish pie is delectable! I especially like those swirls of Yukon gold potato. And the baked cheese melting up through the mountains of potato ... feast for the eyes AND stomach.
ReplyDeleteVoted!
You know I love everything in this gorgeous pie! The choice of potatoes (YAY for Yukon!!), the choice of seafood, the inclusion of nutmeg for depth, sweetness and warmth, but what clinches the deal for me, is how simple you've made it all seem Bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my!! This looks SOOOO good. I've never really thought to make a fish pie before, but you've definitely convinced me :)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness....I just ate dinner and now I am dreaming of eating again! This is dangerous!!! I saw WHITE BEANS somewhere in this read, and I make a great white bean stew with salmon, roasted tomatoes, basil and olive oil. AND BASIL! Yikes, I better get outta here!
ReplyDeleteDELISH! Anita
Oh mercy, Lazaro. :-) I've heard of Fish Pie, wanted to try Fish Pie, but this is the most fabulous version I've ever seen. :-) YUM!!
ReplyDeleteI'm grabbing my fishing pole, net, chicken necks on a string--whatever it takes (probably just a visit to the Chicago Fish House) to make this fish pie. I am salivating just looking at the photos. LOVE the potato topping! Thanks so very much!! Did Audi have a bite?
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
I love to use nutmeg in cream soups and sauces. It gives it that little special touch. Anything is better with good cheddar.
ReplyDeleteSam
This looks amazingly decadent! And a perfect comfort dish for the upcoming cold months.
ReplyDeleteI adore the touch of nutmeg and allspice. They're the spices in creamy dishes where, while you can't exactly pinpoint them, you'd definitely miss them if they weren't there. :)
i just had an eyegasm! this looks amazing and so gresh and mmmmmmm must try this!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, this is a beauty from start to finish:) I would like this fish pie any night of the week and you say it keeps the weight off, hmm, even better!
ReplyDeleteLazaro
ReplyDeletenow this soup is simply amazing! Fish soup just does not do it justice, I was expecting a peasant soup and you made something fir for a king!!
Well done my friend!
forgot to let you know that...i....voted! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the layers of your Seafood pie. Every dig is a different flavor, but every layer complements each other... Great job!
ReplyDeleteVoted, I just cannot wait to see what you do with truffles.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible soup, thank goodness I just ate, or I'd be digging out pans at this point.
Congratulations Lazaro for winning the 5-star Make Over!!!!!
