MAny thanks.
4 eggs
300ml milk
200g smoked cod or haddock fillets, skin on
300g white fish fillets, skin on, bones removed
50g butter
250g leeks , dark green leaves discarded, the rest thinly sliced and washed
1 tbsp flour
a small bunch of flat-leaf parsley leaves only, chopped
1kg floury potato , boiled and mashed with 125ml hot milk and a knob of butter
Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, drain, and tap the shells to crack them. Run under cold water for a few minutes then peel and quarter them.
Pour the milk into a wide pan and lay the fish fillets skin side up in it. Heat gently for 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through: if the skin peels away easily then you're there. Lift out the fish, bin the skin and strain the milk into a jug.
Melt half the butter in a pan and add the leeks. Cook until the leeks are soft, then stir in the fl our. Cook for a minute or so longer, then gradually stir in the poaching milk. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the parsley, then gently fold in the eggs and the fish, trying not to break them up too much. Season.
Spoon the fish mixture into a pie dish, and top with dollops of mashed potato, spreading it out and roughing up the top. Dot with the rest of the butter. Cook for 30 minutes, until golden brown on top. Serve with peas.
Plenty of fish and some pastry....
Here's one from James Martin using haddock and salmon.
I would throw some prawns in too
Fish pie is best baked on a board made from oak. After cooking at 450 degrees for 2 hours, you then throw away the pie and eat the board.
FISH & SPINACH PIE
Spring pan
Pie dough (3 crusts rolled as one large circle)
2 bunches spinach
1/2 to 3/4 c. mushrooms
1 med. onion, chopped
A few garlic cloves
Dash of nutmeg
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. butter
Brie cheese
White fish, any kind, boned
Egg yolk
Black mustard seed
Saute onion, garlic in oil and butter. Add spinach and mushrooms, saute quickly. Strain off liquid. Season fish. Place dough circle into spring pan, letting dough overlap top edge. Brush inside with egg yolk. Fill with 1/2 spinach mixture. Place fish on top and brie cheese on top of fish. Finish with rest of spinach mixture. Pull up dough and close top of pie. Experiment with method of closing up crust. I always create a pin-wheel knot on top, cutting off excess and top with dough fish shape over pinwheel knot. Brush with yolk. Bake 1 to 1 1/4 hours at 375 degrees. Cool slightly and pull off spring pan ring before serving.

Steam or cook the fish in water until it flakes. Prepare a white sauce with butter, flour, milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
