Ingredients
Fish Pie Mixture
- 50 g butter
- 1 large leek (sliced and washed thoroughly)
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 500 ml semi-skimmed or full-fat milk
- 750 g fish pie mixture
- 150 g frozen peas
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
- ½ tablespoon fresh tarragon or ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon (chopped)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ tablespoon salt
Mashed Potato Topping
- 850 g potato (floury potatoes such as Maris Piper, red russets,desire or King Edward)
- 120 ml double cream (warm)
- 30 g butter (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 80 g grated cheddar cheese (or any of your favorite hard cheese)
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place in a large pan and fill with enough cold water to cover the potatoes.
- Put the pan on high heat, bring it to a boil and turn the heat down to the simmering point. Gently simmer for 20-25 minutes or until soft in the middle.
- Start your fish pie filling while the potatoes are cooking.
- Place a pan on medium heat and melt the butter. Add the leeks and saute until soft.
- Sprinkle on the flour and stir to combine. Cook for a minute and whisk in a little of the warm milk at a time, stirring continuously until you have a smooth and velvety mixture. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is thickened.
- Add the fish mixture, dill, tarragon, peas, freshly ground black pepper, and salt, give it a good stir, and remove from the heat.
- Spoon the mixture into a pie dish size of 25-27 cm (10 ") diameter (or any similar-sized rectangular or oval oven dish).
- Preheat the fan oven to 180° C (360° F) and start preparing the mashed potatoes.
- When potatoes are soft in the middle, drain well and return them back to the pan.
- Put the pan back on low heat and let all the water evaporate for 30 seconds then remove from the heat.
- Add the double cream, butter, and salt. Mash using a masher or a ricer until smooth.
- Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and start assembling the fish pie.
- Spoon the mashed potato on top of the fish mixture and spread it out evenly using a fork or pallet knife. Give it a lined pattern to help the mash crisp up.
- Place the dish in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Notes
- Use a good quality & fresh fish pie mixture to avoid watery fish pie.
- If using frozen fish, thaw it overnight, cook the fish for 5 minutes and then drain it before mixing it with the rest of the filling.
- Always start cooking the potatoes with cold water. Otherwise, the outside will be mashy and start to flake while the core is still uncooked.
- When making the mashed potato topping, drain the potatoes well and return them back to the pan. Put the pan back on low heat and then let all the water evaporate for 30 seconds. This way, you don’t get too much of a mushy texture when you place them over the fish filling.
