How to Make Creamy Fish Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas Mark 8.
  2. Peel and chop 1kg potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place in a large pot of boiling salted water. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until tender.
  3. While potatoes cook, gently simmer 6 large eggs in the same pot of boiling water for 8 minutes. Remove eggs and immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Once cool, peel and quarter.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
  5. Finely chop 1 medium onion. In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  6. Add 300ml double cream to the onion and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in 100g grated cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Remove from heat.
  7. In an ovenproof dish, combine 500g cooked fish fillets (cod, haddock, or a mix), 200g cooked prawns, 150g frozen sweetcorn (thawed), and the quartered hard-boiled eggs.
  8. Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the fish mixture and gently stir to combine.
  9. Mash the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the fish mixture.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
