Steps:
- Preheat the oven 200C/400°F Grease a shallow 2.5 litre with butter.
- Melt the butter in a pan on a high heat and fry onion for few minutes.
- Lower the heat, cover and leave to soften for 15 minutes.

- For the topping, boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water until tender. Drain, tip the potatoes back into the pan, add milk and butter and mash until lump-free. Use a ricer to get smooth mash. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Spread the mash over the top of the sauce and fish in the dish and score with a fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the potato is crisp and golden-brown.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, cold fish fillets. Frozen fish can be used, but it should be thawed and patted dry before using.
- The batter should be thick enough to coat the fish evenly, but not so thick that it's difficult to spread.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little bit of water until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the fish. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fish is added, but not so hot that it burns the fish.
- Fry the fish in small batches so that the oil doesn't get too crowded. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Cook the fish for a few minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides, such as chips, tartar sauce, or mushy peas.
