Aishling Moore: How to make a puff pastry fish pie that the whole family will love

Good-quality fish stock is a must for this pie. So, grab some fish bones from your local fishmonger (flat fish bones make the best stock) and make a batch and freeze the excess for future recipes

This weekend’s puff pastry fish pie is a family favourite, and perfect for serving after a big Easter walk. 

Stick it in the centre of the table and let everyone help themselves, serve with some buttered petit pois or whatever seasonal veggies you can get a hold of. Irish asparagus and purple sprouting broccoli are both in season now.
