The Skipper MARCH 2015
Ireland - Fishing Industry Through Time
This is the sixth volume in the
series entitled The Fishing Industry
through Time, previous volumes
having followed the fishing around
mainland Britain, from the east
coast of Scotland, right round anticlockwise and back up the east coast
of England.
The fishing industry has always
played an important part in Ireland’s
history. From the deep-sea trawlers
to the traditional vessels that sailed
around the coast, the harbours of
Ireland were once full of craft, large
and small, that employed men and
women in their thousands. Since the
country’s entry into the European
Economic Community, it has lost
control over its rich territorial waters,
and we are now instead seeing
Spanish and Portuguese boats fish off
the coast.
Three chapters divide fishing into
categories:
• ‘Fishing Ways’ considers the
various methods and species,
• ‘Fishing Boats’ covers the
variety of vessels from early
sail and oar through to today’s
modern craft
• ‘Fishing Folk’ looks at the lives
and habits of those involved in
by Mike Smylie
all aspects of then trade, from
working the boats, mending nets
and gutting fish.
A final chapter, ‘Along the Coast’
depicts many of the harbours, both
large and small, that dot the coastline.
Each chapter has a short introduction
which is followed by a collection of
photographs, both black&white and
in full colour, with each having a
caption describing that photo.
Mike Smylie is a maritime historian
focusing on the history of the
fishing industry. He has had some
22 books published over the same
number of years, including Working
the Irish Coast, an account of his
circumnavigation of the coast in
2007. Other well-known titles are
Traditional Fishing Boats of Britain
& Ireland and Traditional Fishing
Boats of Europe. He is co-founder of
the 40+ Fishing Boat Association.

Delicious and easy - a fish pie anyone can make.
You’ll learn how to poach fish and make a white sauce too
INGREDIENTS
400g skinless white fish fillet
400g skinless smoked haddock
fillet
600ml full-fat milk
1 small onion, quartered
4 cloves
2 bay leaves
4 eggs
small bunch parsley, leaves only,
chopped
100g butter
50g plain flour
pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1kg floury potato, peeled and cut
into even-sized chunks
50g cheddar, grated
Prep: 45 mins
Cook: 30 mins
METHOD
1) Poach the fish. Put the fish
in the frying pan and pour over
500ml of the milk. Stud each onion
quarter with a clove, then add to
the milk, with the bay leaves. Bring
the milk just to the boil – you will
see a few small bubbles. Reduce
the heat and simmer for 8 mins.
Lift the fish onto a plate and strain
the milk into a jug to cool. Flake
the fish into large pieces in the
baking dish.
2) Hard-boil the eggs. Bring a
small pan of water to a gentle boil,
then carefully lower the eggs in
with a slotted spoon. Bring the
water back to a gentle boil, with
just a couple of bubbles rising
to the surface. Set the timer for 8
mins, cook, then drain and cool
in a bowl of cold water. Peel, slice
into quarters and arrange on top
of the fish, then scatter over the
chopped parsley.
3) Make the sauce. Melt half the
butter in a pan, stir in the flour
and cook for 1 min over moderate
heat. Take off the heat, pour in a
little of the cold poaching milk,
then stir until blended. Continue to
add the milk gradually, mixing well
until you have a smooth sauce.
Return to the heat, bringto the
boil and cook for 5 mins, stirring
continually, until it coats the back
of a spoon. Remove from the heat,
season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, then pour over the fish.
4) Assemble and bake. Heat oven
to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Boil the
potatoes for 20 mins. Drain, season and mash with the remaining
butter and milk. Use to top the
pie, starting at the edge of the
dish and working your way in –
push the mash right to the edges
to seal. Fluff the top with a fork,
sprinkle with cheese, then bake for
30 mins. Make up to a day ahead,
chill, then bake for 40 mins.
