Ingredients
  

  • 500 g puff pastry or shortcrust pastry
  • 300 g skinless trout fillet
  • 200 g scallops (coral removed)
  • 200 g white fish (such as cod or hake)
  • 150 g thick cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • q.s. salt
  • q.s. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 egg yolk (for glazing)
  • 100 ml fish stock

Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Rolling pin
  • Food processor
  • Pastry brush
  • Funnel (optional)

Method
 

  1. Begin by cutting the trout and scallops into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. Blend the white fish with cream, eggs, shallot, parsley, and chives in a food processor until smooth, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Gently fold in the reserved trout and scallops, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Dust your work surface with flour and divide the pastry into two equal portions.
  5. Roll each piece into a rectangle slightly larger than your loaf pan.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  7. Line a loaf tin with parchment paper and press the first pastry layer into the bottom and sides, leaving excess hanging over the edges.
  8. Spoon the filling inside and cover with the second pastry sheet, pressing edges firmly to seal.
  9. Cut a small hole in the center for steam to escape and brush the top with beaten egg yolk.
  10. Chill the assembled pie for 15 minutes before baking.
  11. Bake the pie for 45–50 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Warm the fish stock gently, then pour through the steam hole after the pie is done.
  13. Let the pie cool completely before slicing.
