Slimming World Fish Pie
If you are one of the many people following the Slimming World (SW) plan and looking for dinner inspiration then look no further.
This recipe has been adapted from an (old) official SW book that I had. I often adapt the recipes to suit my family’s personal tastes.
This might be an ingredient out (e.g., mushrooms) or adding extra spices (e.g., more chilies), or making tweaks to the way it is made. Any changes made ensure they are still SW friendly.
Fish Facts
Health guidelines say we should eat two portions of fish per week, one of which should be oily fish, such as salmon or mackerel.
Most of us could probably include more fish in our diet – I know we could. We do often have grilled or steamed salmon once a week, but white fish not so often.
Fish that is steamed, baked, or grilled is a healthier choice than fried fish. Frying can increase the fat content of fish and shellfish, especially if they’re cooked in batter.
To ensure there are enough fish to eat now and in the future, we should try to eat a wide variety of fish and buy fish from sustainable sources.
What Fish Can I Use In A Fish Pie?
If you are worried about bones in your fish, buy filleted fish from the supermarket, or ask the fishmonger to de-bone the fish for you.
In this Slimming World fish pie recipe, I use a fish pie mix that my supermarket sells. It contains white fish, smoked haddock, and salmon. The fish is cut up into cubes so I really don’t have to do much prep.
The beauty of a fish pie is that you can use whatever fish you prefer. I actually turned this fish pie into a seafood pie because I used not only fish but also a seafood mix of prawns, mussels, squid, and scallops.
I thought having a mix would make for a more textured and flavourful pie – and I was right – this really was delicious!
How Can I Make A Slimming World Friendly Fish Sauce?
I used Philadelphia Light to make the sauce, which is 2 Syns per 25g (at the time of writing, please check your SW book or online for current values). You could use a flavored variety like garlic and herbs, or chives if you like as they are the same Syns count.
It’s around 16 Syns for the whole dish, but it’s 4 portions. You could make it with fewer Syns by using Extra Light Philadelphia (1.5 Syns per 25 at the time of writing), or you could make it completely free by using Quark.
I personally do not like Quark, even though I know it is free! I’d rather use the Syns on this SW fish pie and use Philly.
This recipe for Slimming World Friendly Fish Pie serves 4 and has 4 Syns per serving when Food Optimising.

Weight Loss Trackers
A visual representation of how many pounds you have lost can be a great motivator. At SW meetings you get stickers for half-stones, and stones lost. But what if you don't attend a meeting?
Here are some products I found on Etsy that I think are perfect for helping you to stay focused on your personal goals.
Weight Loss Journey Board
I love this tracker board. Each hole on the board can hold a £2 coin, so fill in the holes with coins as you lose pounds of weight - then treat yourself when the board is filled up!
Personalised Weight Loss Fund Frame lbs for pounds | Etsy
For every pound you lose, add a pound coin into this personalised frame. Keep adding until it is full and enjoy spending your ££s on something for yourself!
Weight Loss Chalk Board
Hang up this sign somewhere that you can see it every day. So that when you feel like giving up it will remind you to stay focused.
Weight Loss Inspiration Fridge Magnets
These inspirational fridge magnets can be personalised, and a great way to reward yourself as you lose the half-stones and stones.

Very interesting .. I am a X slimming world member . I reached my target weight loosing over 2 stones I also gained all certificates for fitness . I then became poorly unable to workout & my weight soared one stone gained . I managed to gain control back exercising gym Pilates then as this corona virus forced me to isolate I live alone. Disaster strikes no structure unable to buy all healthy foods weight gain I dare not stand in the scales ? Wearing pjs n loungewear every day for 3 weeks is no incentive !!!
I do have good fitness options I can use at home so I start tmrw . I may reward myself to fish pie with phily once my weight is back on track ! Wish me luck :)

Having to isolate is making SW a bit more tricky esp as getting various ingredients isn’t so easy right now either, but stay determined and do the best you can! Good Luck!
