This is the easiest fish pie I have ever made. I used cod and haddock for the white fish and a few extra shrimp as there were some left in the bag. It instructions are simple, the sauce with its dash of mustard and lemon had a nice slight "tang". It was also thick enough to bind the fish nicely together, making a definite bottom layer to the pie.

Fish expert Mitch Tonks' fish pie recipe has bags of flavour from the smoked haddock, prawns and cod. A fish pie is a one-pot supper dish made with a combination of fish, leeks, milk, butter, and potatoes. Some like to sprinkle a fish pie with grated cheese but that's optional, as is the addition of hard-cooked eggs seen in some recipes. Serve fish pie with peas or other fresh greens.
Steps to make Fish pie:
- Soak the smoked haddock in the milk for at least half an hour. Rinse and pat dry, reserve the milk for the sauce. Skin all the fish and cut into 2.5cm cubes.
- Boil the potatoes until tender, drain, cool and slice quite thinly.
- Melt the butter in a skillet, add the flour and stir energetically to make the roux. Cook it, stirring, for a few seconds, then start adding milk and stock, stirring continuously. Season with white pepper and the nutmeg. You might not use all the milk or the stock – check if it’s too your taste, not too milky or too fishy. Let it bubble and cook down for a few minutes, stirring every now and again. Add the cream, mix in most of the Gruyere and half the parmesan. Stir it vigorously and cook a bit longer until perfectly smooth and thickened. Leave to cool slightly, then stir in the parsley.
- Layer the fish chunks and the prawns in a gratin or pie dish, scatter the peas among the fish. Season the fish lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the sauce all over the fish, reserving a couple of spoonfuls.
- Layer the potato slices on top of the sauce, season with salt and pepper and dab the rest of the sauce over the potatoes. Sprinkle over the remaining Gruyere cheese and most of the parmesan.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6. Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes until bubbling and golden, scatter the rest of the parmesan over the top just before the end of the cooking time. Serve with green salad.
Some like to sprinkle a fish pie with grated cheese but that's optional, as is the addition of hard-cooked eggs seen in some recipes. Serve fish pie with peas or other fresh greens. One of the givens of most fish pies is the mashed potato crust, making it the fishy equivalent of a cottage pie, or shepherd's pie. It can be thick, thin, swirled, piped, or flattened, but it's always lightly crisped in the hot oven, and utterly delicious. A rendering of the classic British fish pie.
