Got fish, could do with some ideas
Today I picked up a big tray of mixed fish (the diced stuff you use for fish pie), it's 4kilo and was a fiver so good buy, obviously I will bag it into portions but I don't know what to mix it with as I don't want to give him it on it's own and I don't want to mix it with biscuits, want something really tasty for him but he's not a fan of mash potato, anyone know a good recipe I can make with it?

Interested in this myself as Logan really enjoys fish.

Maybe you could give an occasional raw meal once or twice a week or so? A full raw meal though, say something like, 100-200g fish, an egg, a bit of pork ribs. Fish and egg would help with skin & coat and the pork ribs would help to clean his teeth!

raw fish IF they will eat it is great for them due to the oils in it

He loves fish so no worries on whether he'll eat it, spends 10 minutes licking around his snout when he's had sardines or mackeral.
Will give him it raw with egg and porkribs as stuw suggested.
is there a limit to how much fish I should feed him? or could he have it most days without a problem?

1 or 2 times a week I'd say, that's how often my 2 get it!

if it's just the raw fish, not in salt or anything then yes you can give it everyday in appropriate amounts, i give it probably 5 times a week

Yeah I only buy him fresh off the meat counter normally, he has been on fish twice a week and he really enjoys it, but beef and pork he just chomps a little and swallows whole, he's brought it back up whole morevthan once aswell so I cut it up now. He seems to appreciate fish more (if that makes sense) and takes his time with it so I'd rather give him more fish than meat. That and I want the shine back on his coat as he's starting to get a little lighter, unless it's because he's getting bigger and it just looks that way.

meat is better for a dog then fish particually red meat. However if you'd rather feed fish then thats fine

What does he like eating?
How about....
pasta, rice, boiled eggs,...
Rupes loves eating frozen fish. I suppose it's like ice cream to him.

He wont touch pasta, rice, vegetables etc, wont eat meat if it's minced either, he's a fussy little fella.
He seems to be enjoying it with raw egg at the minute. Does fish not hurt them frozen? I defrost his morning meal most nights but sometimes I forget to take it out the night before and he has to have 2 dry meals, if frozen is ok now and again would certainly benefit him when I forget
