Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
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.
Gradually add the reserved poaching milk to the roux, whisking until smooth. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the grated Cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper into the sauce. Mix well.
Add the flaked fish and prawns to the sauce, gently folding to coat without breaking the fish pieces.
Pour the fish mixture into a baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the mashed potatoes, using a fork to create a textured surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy your Yummy Fish Pie!
