0% Complete

Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, then drain and mash with butter and milk until smooth and fluffy

Make a roux by melting butter and whisking in flour, then gradually add milk and fish stock to create a smooth white sauce

Poach the fish gently in seasoned milk until just cooked through but still tender

Layer the poached fish, quartered eggs, and frozen peas in a buttered baking dish

Pour the white sauce over the fish mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated

Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top and create decorative fork patterns or pipe rosettes

Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese and bake at 190°C until golden brown and bubbling

Let the fish pie cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set
