Steps:

• Soak the cod:
• In a large bowl, cover the cod pieces with 2 inches of cold water and soak, chilled, at least 24 hours and up to 36 hours, changing the water 2 to 3 times per day and tasting the cod to test for saltiness after the first 24 hours.
• Make the filling:
• Once the cod is sufficiently soaked, poach it in a large pot of boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Transfer the cod to a large bowl and reserve 2 cups of the poaching liquid. Using 2 forks, gently shred the cod into small pieces.
• In a large, deep sauté pan, heat the oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the shredded cod, along with the rice and chopped tomatoes, stir to combine, and cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomato purée, parsley, mint, marjoram, orange zest, cinnamon, allspice, and the 2 cups reserved poaching liquid and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat, and set aside while you make the phyllo dough.
• Make the phyllo dough:
• Place the flour in a large bowl and create a well in the center. Add the wine, olive oil, and salt to the well and use your hands to gradually combine the ingredients. Once all the liquid has been absorbed, gradually start adding water just as needed, while using your hands to incorporate the water into the dough. Continue working the dough and adding water until the dough is fairly uniform and no longer sticky-you may have water left over. Divide the dough into two balls and flatten them into discs. Return the discs of dough to the bowl and cover with plastic wrap followed by a large kitchen towel. Let the dough rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Assemble and bake the pie:
• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously brush a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with oil.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll both discs of dough into roughly 18- by 14-inch rectangles. Arrange 1 rectangle of dough in the prepared baking dish, allowing any excess dough to hang over the edge. Add the cod filling, spreading it evenly in the baking dish. Arrange the second rectangle of dough on top of the cod filling and use your fingers to roll and crimp the edges of the dough together, making sure to create a good seal. Brush the pie with oil then sprinkle it with water. Use a toothpick or fork to poke a few holes in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape during cooking. Bake the pie until the dough is golden brown, about 1 hour. Transfer the pie to a wire rack to let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.

ENGLISH FISH PIE

Steps:

• 1. Everyone has their own way of making mash potatoes; but the one thing we all have to do is boil the taters. So, get yourself a large pot, and put the golden yellow taters on the boil.
• 2. Put 15 ounces of the milk into a small pan, and then bring up to a light simmer. Add the white fish, but not the smoked haddock.
• 3. Chef's Note: The smoked haddock is already cooked, and ready to be flaked into the white fish, after it's poached.
• 4. Add the onion, and the bay leaves, and keep on the simmer for about 8 minutes.
• 5. After eight minutes, remove the fish, and then strain the poaching liquid into a bowl, and allow to cool, while you work on the rest of dish. Discard the solids.
• 6. Chef's Note: I was looking over my old notes on this recipe, and I have a suggestion. Instead of buying skinless white fish, buy it with the skin on. Then after 8 minutes, remove the fish, and flake the meat off of the skin... return the skin to the poaching liquid and allow to simmer for an additional 8 minutes. Then discard the skin, and continue with the recipe.
• 7. Flake the white fish, and the smoked haddock, and place into the bottom of a baking dish.
• 8. Chef's Note: I use a 10 x 7 baking dish, but that's packing it pretty full, you might want to use something slightly larger.
• 9. Slice the hard boiled eggs into quarters, and then arrange them on top of the fish.
• 10. Chef's Note: I wasn't so sure about the eggs; however, a Brit one time told me the eggs were definetely a part of a "traditional" fish pie. However, if you're not a fan... leave them out.
• 11. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter, and the flour into a small saucepan, and blend together over medium heat to make a blonde roux.
• 12. I dated a blonde roux once... down in the Big Easy... Wonder what happened to her?
• 13. Slowly add the cooled (but not cold) poaching liquid to the roux, and whisk until you have a smooth, thickened sauce. Season with some salt, pepper, and the grated nutmeg.
• 14. Pour the sauce over the fish in the baking dish.
• 15. Remove the potatoes from the boiling water, and make mash potatoes... YUM. My method is to keep them in the skins during the boil, and use a potato ricer with medium holes. Add the remainder of the milk, and butter, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• 16. Chef's Note: I don't like adding cold milk to mash potatoes, so I heat the milk, along with the butter, in a small sauce pan, and then add the hot liquid to the hot potatoes. In addition, I usually find I need a bit more milk than the recipe calls for.
• 17. Top the fish pie with the mashed potatoes, and then sprinkle with the cheese.
• 18. Place a rack in the middle position, and then preheat the oven to 400f (200c).
• 19. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown and bubbly.
• 20. For a more formal (less rustic) approach to this dish, you might try baking it in individual ramekins. That's how we did it at the restaurant.
• 21. Have fun with this dish, and even try other types of fish. For example, you could add some shrimp... But it you do, don't poach them with the fish... add them raw to the top of the dish, before adding the potatoes, and then bake. Or, how about the addition of some nice peas... I like peas with this dish. Or, maybe go 50/50 with half golden yellow potatoes, and half sweet potatoes.
• 22. Keep the faith, and keep cooking...
