# Oven-Ready Fish Pies Charlie Bigham's Single-Serve Fish Pie Can Be Cooked in Its Wooden Tray By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-01-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fish-pie References: [waitrose](https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/charlie-bighams-fish-pie/394963-55511-55512) & [bighams](https://www.bighams.com/products/product/fish-pie/) Although there are many [savory dinner pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-product) that are made with chicken, beef and pork, Charlie Bigham's offers a fish pie alternative made with a combination of [cod, salmon and smoked haddock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-seafood-meals). The included fish is accented with a parsley sauce, mashed potato and a topping of crunchy breadcrumbs. When it comes time to prepare the product, consumers are instructed to remove the packaging film, but leave the fish pie in its [oven-safe wooden tray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlie-bighams-brasserie-range). Charlie Bigham's Fish Pie received a Great Taste Award in 2017. To bring out the best flavors of the product, Charlie Bigham's suggests serving the dish with a side like garden peas and minted butter, as well as a Italian white wine, a sparkling white wine or even a champagne. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Savory Dinner Pies:** Opportunity for creating innovative and unique dinner pie recipes using alternative ingredients. - **Single-serve Meals:** Disruptive innovation potential in developing convenient, portion-controlled meals for busy consumers. - **Oven-safe Packaging:** Opportunity for designing and implementing eco-friendly, oven-safe packaging solutions for ready-to-cook meals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Industry leaders can explore new flavors and ingredients to create innovative savory dinner pie options. - **Frozen Food:** Innovative companies can tap into the growing market for convenient, single-serve frozen meals. - **Packaging:** Companies can develop eco-friendly and oven-safe packaging solutions for a range of ready-to-cook meals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ready-to-Bake Tray Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlie-bighams-dishes.md) - [Snackable Fish Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fish-and-chip-bites.md) - [Ready-to-Enjoy Side Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlie-bighams-side-dishes.md) - [Frozen Family-Friendly Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-pies-family-favourite.md) - [Asian Cuisine Seafood Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fish-said-fred-oven-ready.md) - [Savory Regenerative Flour Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higgidy-pies.md) - [Oven-Ready Salmon Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salmon-meals.md) - [Savory Family-Friendly Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-the-big-one.md) - [Heat-and-Eat French Cuisine Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlie-bighams-brasserie-range.md)
