The club BBQ & smoker has not arrived yet, so we decided to invest the Syon Park haul in fish pies.
Keen for something simple and quick I followed this recipe, noting from another site that to 'just' cook a trout, one should wrap it in foil and bake it in an oven at 200degC for 15 minutes, then leave it out of the oven for 20 minutes without opening the foil. I can attest to the efficacy of this method! The trout was cooked through and very juicy.
A couple of bay-leaves added to the gut cavity of the trout before baking didn't make it taste noticeably different, but definitely gave the impression of being a more sophisticated & garnished approach.
Overall the pies were well received, although the use of rice mystified some.
Next time I propose to follow the well-researched recipe proposed by this indefatigable chef.
