Dessert to slot between fish pie and cheese course

Do what the French do, and follow your main fish dish with the cheese and decent wine and then buy a nice desert to finish with coffee and cognac.
Gastronimoically, its somewhat better than what you might be imaginining.
I like that, maybe buy a Panatone. Could be quite heavy on top of fish pie mind.Gastronimoically, its somewhat better than what you might be imaginining.

A sticky toffee pudding if you fancy something hearty or a tiramisu would be my "go to" puddings I think...
If you're not doing, I strongly recommend trying Jamie Oliver's fish pie.
Nigella does a piece of piss sticky toffee pudding.
Delia does a decent tiramisu...

Don't scrimp on the cheese. Make sure you include the egg and spinach.
Fish wise, Morrisons (a place I generally cannot stand) do a decent packet of fish pie mix. I don't use just haddock or cod and tend to go for smoked haddock, prawns and salmon in the mix. But sticking with just haddock or cod still works.
I've mentioned it on here before, as have others. I have had specific requests for this from people visiting before. (Ditto the sticky toffee, which isn't has heavy as it sounds).

Something light and sharp tasting for me. I'd personally have a lemon mousse or fruit fool of some kind.
Now a lemon mousse is a great shout, might need to have a practice first.BTW those asking about fish pie recipes, I'm using Delia Smith's luxury smoked fish pie which has always worked well.
or go posh and have a 'palette cleanser' between the fish pie and the pud so you can choose whatever dessert you fancy. I did just that with a red-pepper sorbet for a New Year dinner party and guests raved about it. Dead simple to make ( I googled a recipe and found this: http://www.finedinings.com/roasted_red_pepper_sorb... ) -takes about 15mins to make plus freezing time so you do need to do it the day before then just serve a spoonful of it in a shot glass or similar.
My initial thought was something lemon as well...Nothing to heavy...something that will transition well between a light fish dish and a cheese course....
Depends on how easy or fancy you want to go
nothing beats a classic lemon tart such as: http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/glazed-le...
souffle if you want to show off: http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/lemon-sou...
easy to make ahead, looks pretty; http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/blueberry...
