OK here goes.After trading information with Bearcarver & seeing that theres a few pie eaters out there I m going to have a shot at it.
Just came back from markets with 5kg of hapuka for the smoker.Its shipped fresh from NewZealand on fridays,scallops,prawns.I have some frozen smoked spanish mack so that will go in too. To be totally Tasmanian I would need blue trevalla but hapuka was a better buy. Calamari prices through the roof & its tricky to get texture right, mussels & oysters?? thought Id keep it to white flesh seafood.
Hapuka bones in stock pot, great fish. Ill smoke most of it & just put a pound into pie ,I think. Im in new territory here so it will come together I HOPE,as I make it. Its going to have a bit of a chowder feel, with a pastry top.
Ill post some photos after I clear the decks a bit here.
