How to Prepare Nigerian Fish Pie

Here are the procedures for making Nigerian fish pie:

  1. Wash and dress your fish. Steam it, adding onion, garlic powder, thyme curry, seasoning cubes, and any other seasoning. Boil it till it is done. Alternatively, you can use canned fish. You do not need to cook the canned one.
  2. When the fish has cooked, remove it from the water and remove the bones. Mash the boneless fish.
  3. Get your mixing bowl. Pour in your flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix them together.
  4. Into another bowl, break in the egg and whisk it with melted margarine or butter.
  5. Pour the whisked egg into the bowl with flour. Add little water at intervals and mix them thoroughly until you obtain a firm dough.
  6. Take out the dough and place it on your rolling board or a neat flat and smooth surface.
  7. Knead it and leave it for about 8 minutes before you begin rolling it out with a rolling pin. Roll it until the dough becomes flat and smooth.
  8. Cut out round shapes or circles on the flat dough. Remove the remaining parts that cannot form circles. You might need to knead them together and roll them out again to obtain the needed shape from them.
  9. Scoop the mashed fish onto the circular shapes. Fold over one part of each piece to cover another. Use the tip of a fork to seal the edges of each covered pie.
  10. Heat up vegetable oil in a pan, enough oil for the pies to be buried in,
  11. Pick up each filled pie and gently drop them inside the oil. Fry till they are brown. Make sure you turn the sides to allow for all-around cooking.
  12. Remove the pies when they are golden brown and place them in a sieve to drain excess oil.

Note this: Some folks use more than fish to fill their fish pie. Irish potato can be used along with the fish. Just boil the potato and mash it along with the fish.

Secondly, you can use yeast instead of baking powder. Just pour the yeast into a bowl of warm water and allow it to frost before mixing it.

Third, you can equally bake the fish pie instead of frying it.

Serve hot, with a glass of chilled drink.
