Fish Pie


We like this with carrots as a vegetable side dish. You can substitute 1 cup of the milk with white wine or vermouth. A deep dish is preferred, otherwise it is difficult to spread the potatoes over.

Steps


Preheat oven to 400 degrees f.
Put the fish in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
Pour over 1 cup of the milk and dot with a few flecks of butter , bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Strain but reserve the cooking juices , remove any skin from the fish and flake the flesh in large pieces.
Make the sauce , melt the rest of the butter in a saucepan , stir in the flour and cook it for 1 minute , start adding the cooking juices bit by bit , stirring all the time , after that add the rest of the milk , if still too thick just add a little more milk.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Mix in to the sauce: fish , prawns , eggs , capers , parsley , peas and celery , add the lemon juice and check the seasoning.
Pour the fish mixture in a 1 liter greased ovenproof dish.
Mash the potatoes with the butter , sour cream and nutmeg , check the seasoning , and then spread this on top of the fish.
Bake in the oven at 400f for 30 40 minutes.
