Baked Fish Pie Alaska

Prepare the heads of 6 Patagonian Tooth Fish by marinating for 2 hours in beer. Line a 15cm tin with sweet short pastry and add the caramelised walnuts and raisins. Then add a thick layer of the tomato sauce and condensed milk. Arrange the fish heads facing upwards into the pie in a circle, their mouths should meet at the top. Whisk the eggs, cranberries and pesto until peaks form. Place mixture around the heads, mouths should be showing. Sprinkle with choc melts and bake for 10 mins at 250C.

I use the same recipe, artspace, except replacing chocolate melts with pineapple chunks for a tropical twist.
A piquant variation is whole chillis in the fishe's mouths with afterdinner mints on top. Quite a kick in this one.

that sounds yum.
Mr Artspace's favorite is green olive stuffed with half-exposed nestling sparrow in the fishe's mouth (they go crispy), but we save that for special occasions.

When posting these yummy Trade-Me Cooks recipes, can you please put quantities for those of us not so experienced.
How many cranberries and other stuff (darn it, forgot what other goodies were in thiss great sounding fish head pie) ;) Walnuts?
Could I put a pack of marshmallows in it as well? I prefer the pink ones but think maybe the white ones would work also? (let's not be greedy and do the smaller than family-size pack).
Cheers muchly :)

I make this one too, but add a large handful of seaslugs and chopped seaweed.

Sorry, I was out birdwatching and checking my pineapples. Measurements are really just a jiggle, fish head in one hand, walnuts, cranberries etc in the other until they balance. It really does depend on the size of the fish. Marshmallows, seaslugs - anything can work really well, it's a very adaptable recipe. I did forget to say just don't forget to baste the little birdy heads and wings if you want really crispy.

We generally find 1. 5 kilos of cranberries to be sufficient.
Walnuts are nice but can be substituted with macadamias or pistachios if you are in funds - or peanuts or sheep nuts if you are on an economy drive. 1 and 1/3 cups.
The marshmallows are a good piece of creative thinking - why not go the whole hog and slice in some lolly cake? Then you'd get your marshmallow fix and so much more besides...

Do you ever accompany yours with a sauce?

Packet custard if needed, but it's usually moist enough to get away with a boysenberry couli.
