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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan or small baking dish with butter and set it aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the fish paste with the salt, white pepper, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 4

Add the potato starch or cornstarch to the fish mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Pour the fish batter into the prepared loaf pan or baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the fish pudding from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve the fish pudding warm with boiled potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a white sauce for a complete meal.
