A couple of weeks ago I went for a nice day out to a place called the Meon Springs, in East Meon. Whilst there I was able to try out some fly fishing. Considering my first attempt was quite poor, I bagged a catch in the end. Once home my boyfriend and I gutted our fish, pin boned them and portioned them up. I had mine, that night, topping it with homemade breadcrumbs, grated lemon zest, parsley, pepper, and a squeeze of half a lemon. I baked it in the oven for just over 5 minutes (super quick!). It was amazing. The best trout I've ever had, and I've eaten it in restaurants before! It's such a reward and so fresh. Give it a go, whether you catch your own or by it fresh from the fishmongers. :)
This is a photo of the fish pie created by my Mum and I. Was so yummy! Very simple ingredients, haddock (poached), white sauce, pastry, DONE. With the topping of a little fish, bubbles and seaweed made out of pastry of course. :) (I hope you noticed!) We enjoyed this with celeriac & potato mash, broccoli and green beans. (P.S if you don't like celery, you may not like celeriac!)
