Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or pollock)
- 250 ml milk
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons potato starch or cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons white pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan or small baking dish with butter and set it aside.
Cut the white fish fillets into chunks and place them in a food processor. Blend until the fish is finely minced and forms a smooth paste.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fish paste with the salt, white pepper, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Add the potato starch or cornstarch to the fish mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, and eggs until smooth. Gradually pour this mixture into the fish mixture, stirring constantly to create a uniform batter.
Pour the fish batter into the prepared loaf pan or baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the pan (this creates a water bath to ensure gentle, even cooking).
Carefully transfer the setup to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the fish pudding is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the fish pudding from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve the fish pudding warm with boiled potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a white sauce for a complete meal.
