Welcome to the channel and introduce the dish: fish pie.

Explain that fish pie is similar to fish roll but with a different wrapping method.

Decide to omit sugar from the dough for this recipe.

Introduce the ingredients: fresh mackerel fish, seasoning cube, butter, onion, garlic, fresh scotch bonnet pepper, eggs, salt, black pepper, white pepper, vegetable oil, and flour.

In a pot, add water, seasoning cube, salt, black pepper, and white pepper, then cover and let it cook.

In a bowl, add 900 g of flour and 150-200 g of butter, mixing until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Make a hole in the mixture and add 1 egg, mixing well.

Gradually add water to achieve the desired dough consistency, then refrigerate the dough to cool.

Chop the onion while the fish is cooking.

Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the pot and debone it, saving the fish stock.

In the same pot, add vegetable oil and fry the chopped onion until cooked.

Add the deboned fish to the onion mixture, crushing the fish and adding a bit of fish stock to taste.

Let the fish filling simmer without adding more seasoning.

Once ready, transfer the fish filling to a plate to cool.

Prepare to make the fish pie by rolling out the dough on a floured surface.

Cut the dough into circles using a round bowl.

Add the fish filling to the center of each circle, brush egg on the edges, and fold over, sealing with a fork.

Make decorative lines on the top of the fish pie with a knife.

Place the fish pies on an oven tray and brush them with egg.

Preheat the oven to 250°C and bake the fish pies for about 30 minutes.

Once baked, remove the fish pies from the oven and let them cool before serving.
