Please can you add egg to the ingredients list? I shopped off the ingredients list and I don’t have an egg! 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks
HollyTuesday 6th April 2021
Hey Debbie, so sorry about that, I have now amended the recipe to list the egg in the ingredients list
Colin SmithWednesday 10th March 2021
Made these for the first time but I used a mixture of fish Samon cod etc that I would normally use for a fish pie and they went down a treat with some spicy potato wedges made twice the amount of tartar sauce to dip the wedges in.
It was absolutely delicious
HollyWednesday 10th March 2021
Hi Colin, that sounds great, so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Niamh QuigleyThursday 4th February 2021
Can you freeze these?
LisaWednesday 10th February 2021
Hi, Niamh
You can but freezing and reheating can dry them out, so we think they are best served fresh.
Katherine WeaverWednesday 29th April 2020
Could I use Cod instead of monkfish in this?
Sharon FitzpatrickWednesday 6th May 2020
Hi Katherine, yes, you can use cod or any other firm white fish in this recipe.
