3. Fish Pie served with Tasty Veggies

Particularly tasty vegetables with fish pie are peas and carrots, due to their sweetness that compliments the creamy fishy sauce. But there are many ways to serve your fish pie with veggies:

· An easy way to take your side vegetables to the next level would be to ensure they are always seasonal and fresh, or by dressing them with fresh herbs such as mint or parsley.

· Alternatively, during autumnal months, sautéed green beans with sweet shallots and garlic would be a very tasty option to serve with fish pie.

· Roasted carrots are another delicious option to serve with fish pie, try dusting with paprika or cumin spices for a winter warmer side dish to your fish pie.

· Pairing tenderstem with lemon and basil breadcrumbs is a particular favourite of ours to make your taste buds sing. The crunch texture is a welcome contrast while the lemon makes sure it complements the flavours so well when served with fish pie.

4. Fish Pie with Crusty Bread!

Sometime you just need extra carbs, to mop up all that creamy fishy sauce – that why a fresh crusty loaf is the ideal side to serve with fish pie in our book.
