Method
- Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Simmer the potatoes for about 20 minutes until tender, then drain and mash with half the butter and a little milk. Season.
- Meanwhile, bring the rest of the milk to a simmer in a frying pan, add the fish and bay leaves, cover and cook for 6–8 minutes. Remove the fish (keep the poaching milk) and flake into a dish, sprinkle the prawns and egg on top.
- Melt the rest of the butter in a pan, add the flour and mix, then gradually add 300ml of the poaching milk, mixing constantly until all the milk has been absorbed. Bring to the boil and simmer for a couple of minutes then take off the heat and mix in the parsley. Season. Pour over the fish and prawns. Spoon the mash over so it covers everything, then sprinkle with the cheese.
- Cook for 20 minutes in the oven until the top is golden.

as Louise implied I am amazed that anyone able to get paid $4280 in 4 weeks on the internet. have you seen this website http://www.grand4.com
Audrey. if you think Danny`s blurb is impressive... last week I bought a top of the range Jaguar XJ from having earned $9367 this past four weeks and-just over, $10 thousand lass month. it's by-far the nicest job Ive ever done. I began this three months/ago and practically straight away began to bring home at least $84 per-hour. I use this website, >>>>>>wow65.com<<<<<<
This is a really lovely fish pie. Using smoked haddock and adding some frozen peas makes it even better. I also added some cream to the mash, it makes it even more calorific, but it's worth it as a special family treat. Everyone loved it, especially my 3 yearold son. Definitely a recipe to store in the cook book.
As others have said... this tasted delicious - but the vast amount of washing up (pan to poach the fish, pan to make the mash, jug to measure the milk, pan to make the sauce, dish to bake it all in, and a pan to boil a few peas) will put me off making it again. It does also have that huge amount of butter! However, if the washing up doesn't put you off, just make sure your baking dish is big enough. Mine was just a tad too small... so now I'm off to do the washing up AND clean the oven! The pie was a pleasure to eat though! I used a mix of salmon, pollack and smoked haddock which was being sold by my local supermarket as a 'fish pie mix' and it worked well.
love fish pie....i cook it this way....http://isitworthwaitingfor.blogspot.com/
Have just finished cooking this right now. didn't add prawns
(as nobody likes them in our household) and didnt add the eggs either because it sounded rank. very loosely followed the recipie as my scales are broken so i just added what i though in terms of amounts. Tastes delicious though and as its my 1st ever fish pie i think its fantastic!
