Dr Who? Fish Fingers and "Custard"

Hello fellow whovians! Welcome to the Dr Who edition of Cooking 4 Noobs! Today's dish is inspired by the Eleventh Hour Episode.
 
We will not be using actual custard, rather a delicious dip that resembles a creamy custard. I hope that you enjoy fish, because this recipe is pretty damn delicious.

Tis the season for something warm to fill our bellies.  To keep us inside during the cold, and to avoid being sighted by a dragon.
