Fishy Pies for the freezer and your tum-tum

Make a huge mahoosive pan of veggie mixture, you can use the cheapest bag of frozen veg, something like 60p, an onion, bit of garlic, chuck in a cheap tin of baked beans, a squirt of ketchup or barbecue sauce, anything goes, just so long as you end up with a big tasty pile of cheap veggie mixture, cook it up and leave it to cool. The next day would be best as it leaves it time to mingle too.

So get your self some foil dishes, the sort with lids, like you get from some take-aways , use the tin foil sort, not plastic as these will going in the oven from the freezer. 

Pop to the piscean produce purveyors and purchase a packet of pollock. This works out to about 43p per piece of fish.

Plop the sloppy jalopy & fish in the tin foil dish, make sure the fish is straight out of the freezer and you are putting it in cold veggie mixture as it will all be going back in the freezer any minute now. 

Instant mash, this stuff is 20p a bag, tastes great and is just like real spud if you treat it right. 

Just use half a bag to start with as it goes cool and difficult to work with quite quickly, half a bag will cover two fish pie dishes.

Add a pinch of dry mustard and a pinch of vegetta or salt if you prefer

After I mixed the mash, I put it back in the bag it came from, snipped off one corner with the scissors  and piped the potato on top of the pies. makes life so much easier. 

Pop the lids on and freeze immediately. When you want to eat one, cook it from frozen for about 40 minutes at gas 4 or 5 depending on your oven. Put some grated cheese on top for extra yummishness. I reckon one tray/dish will feed a hungry me on its own or two hungry me's with garlic bread or other accompaniment
