Ingredients

• 800 grams Potatoes
• 400 ml Milk
• 100 grams Butter
• 400 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
• 200 grams Smoked fish (e.g., smoked haddock)
• 200 grams Prawns (peeled, raw or cooked)
• 3 tablespoons Plain flour
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, place the milk in a large saucepan and gently poach the white fish and smoked fish over low heat for about 5 minutes until just cooked through. Remove the fish from the milk, flake into large chunks, and set aside. Reserve the milk for the sauce.

Step 3

Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with 50 grams of butter and a splash of milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 5

In a clean saucepan, melt the remaining 50 grams of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 6

Gradually add the reserved poaching milk to the roux, whisking until smooth. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper into the sauce. Mix well.

Step 8

Add the flaked fish and prawns to the sauce, gently folding to coat without breaking the fish pieces.

Step 9

Pour the fish mixture into a baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the mashed potatoes, using a fork to create a textured surface.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy your Yummy Fish Pie!
