Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 medium potatoes
½ cup butter, divided
1 medium white Spanish onion, chopped
1 ½ cups grated medium Cheddar cheese
1 ¼ cups light cream, or as needed
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds white fish - skinned, boned, and cut into chunks
½ pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut a small slit in each potato and place onto a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
While the potatoes are baking, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in Cheddar cheese, cream, mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is warm and Cheddar has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Place white fish and shrimp in a 3 1/2-quart oven-proof baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the fish; stir until well combined.
Scoop the flesh out of the baked potatoes and place in a large bowl; discard the skins. Add 4 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until butter has melted and potatoes are smooth. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the fish.
Bake until sauce is bubbling and potato topping is golden brown, about 55 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1kg Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and halved
400ml milk, plus a splash
25g butter, plus a knob
25g plain flour
4 spring onions, finely sliced
1 x pack fish pie mix (cod, salmon, smoked haddock etc, weight around 320g-400g depending on pack size)
1 tsp Dijon or English mustard
½ a 25g pack or a small bunch chives, finely snipped
handful frozen sweetcorn
handful frozen petits pois
handful grated cheddar

Steps:

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas mark 6.
Put 1kg potatoes, peeled and halved, in a saucepan and pour over enough water to cover them. Bring to the boil and then simmer until tender.
When cooked, drain thoroughly and mash with a splash of milk and a knob of butter. Season with ground black pepper.

Gradually whisk in 400ml milk using a balloon whisk if you have one. Bring to the boil, stirring to avoid any lumps and sticking at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins until thickened.
Take off the heat and stir in 320g-400g mixed fish, 1 tsp Dijon or English mustard, a small bunch of finely snipped chives, handful of sweetcorn and handful of petits pois. Spoon into an ovenproof dish or 6-8 ramekins.

Tips:

Choose the right fish. White-fleshed fish, such as cod, haddock, and flounder, are traditional choices for fish pie. However, you can use any type of fish that you like.
Cook the fish properly. The fish should be cooked until it is just cooked through. Overcooked fish will be tough and dry.
Make a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what brings the fish pie together. Be sure to use a flavorful liquid, such as fish stock or white wine. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the sauce.
Use a good quality pastry. The pastry is the topping for the fish pie. Use a good quality pastry that will hold its shape and not get soggy.
Bake the fish pie until golden brown. The fish pie should be baked until the pastry is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.

Conclusion:

Fish pie is a classic British dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be made with a variety of different ingredients. With a little planning, you can make a fish pie that everyone will love.
