Searching for a simple fish dish using coley or cod, then this “fish pie” is really tasty. You can use seasonal fresh vegetables or frozen vegetables of your choice. Top with creamy mashed potato and bake. I sometimes use up suitable vegetables left over from yesterday’s main meal. Serves 5 or 6.

Fish Pie - Plate 

Ingredients:

Coley or Cod 900g 2lb
Milk 900ml 1½ Pints 
Plain Flour 90g 3oz
Margarine 90g 3oz
Potatoes 1kg 2lb
Vegetables 300g 10oz 

Vary the ingredients in proportion to the number of servings needed.

Method:

Peel the potatoes, and boil in salted water until soft.

Meanwhile wash and skin the fish and cut up into bite size pieces. Place into a large oven proof dish.

At this point I added a few left over cooked vegetables to the dish.

Preheat the oven to 200°C, 400°F, gas mark 6.

Make the white sauce by melting the margarine in a large pan. Stir in the flour and let the mixture cook for a few minutes, stirring on a low heat. I usually warm the milk in the microwave then gradually stir in the milk. Bring to the boil slowly stirring all the time until the mixture boils and thickens. Pour the sauce over the fish and vegetable mixture and mix in to coat the food. 

Fish Pie in Dish

When the potatoes are cooked (they should all be fairly soft) mash them and add in a knob of margarine and a little milk to make a rich, smooth mash.

Spoon the mash over the fish mixture in the dish and spread over the whole dish finishing off with a fork to create a spiked effect.Place in the oven to cook for 30 to 40 minutes until the potatoe spikes are browned.

Variations:

For added variety add sweetcorn, or prawns.
