Comment:

Having moved to the USA, we can't find good stuff like Homepride cook-in-sauces so I have had to improvise. A visit to Walmart and a search for sauces to

cook fish in was frustrating. Virtually all of the sauces available are on the shelf listed as "Pasta Sauces", there are none whatsoever on the fish department shelves.

Of the rest, Alfredo sauce seemed a likely candidate but it had too much cheese in it, as did many other pasta sauces. I eventually found one called

Lemon Artichoke Simmer Sauce. Sounded that it might go with fish.

This is produced under the Gia Russa brand name, whoever that is, but that's ok, it was a sauce that could possibly work with my fish pie.

Ingredients check showed no cheese in it. YAY!!

Don't get me wrong, I like cheese, but in a fish pie that has cheese on the top, you don't need cheese IN it too.
