fish pie

Fish pie is a traditional pie of Britain, usually made with white fish baked in an oven and topped with mashed potatoes. Since the topping is similar to Shepherd’s pie, the pie is also known as the ‘fisherman’s pie.

Royal Fish Pie

It became a part of British tradition in the 1100’s, when it became customary for the cooks to send the King pies containing herrings. It also became a tradition to send fish in crust as gifts to the royal families.

A fish pie usually contains most of the health benefits of the usual seafood. It is known for increasing brain power, improving heart health and reducing cholesterol levels. The Omega-3 fatty acids, mainly DHA, in most of the fish are known to decrease the chances of getting dementia and memory problems in old age. It reduces the risk of blood clots, and thus, maintains cardiovascular health. It is also known to be beneficial during pregnancy. However, not all sorts of fish can be eaten in pies, during pregnancy, as some kinds may be harmful for the mother’s, as well as, the baby’s health. Using fish that is oil-rich to make a fish pie can improve the health of eyes too. Many varieties are known to be rich in retinol that helps boost night vision.

Fish Pie Popularity

To counter the pervasiveness of the fast-food culture, many have turned to fish due to its varied health benefits. Fish pie seems to be just the right option for the health conscious people. Fish are not normally known to cause obesity, and so, in an age characterized by such a disease, a fish pie seems to be a healthy alternative to food which causes weight gain. Most of the fish have a low fat and high-protein content, and since protein is known to control appetite, fish just seems to be one of the healthiest food choices. It helps in reducing weight and thus can help lower obesity levels in the population. Baking the fish in a pie makes it even tastier. However, individual preferences may vary. A fish pie seems to be a perfect option for a hosted party or dinner, where one has to keep in mind the health conditions of many, from the young to the old. A fish pie is something that everyone would like, regardless of his or her age. The elderly won’t have to worry about their cholesterol levels, if the right type of fish is used. A fish can be cooked and presented as it is, or it can be baked in a pie, to add to its aura and to give it a special look.
