Ingredients

  • 500g white fish fillets, such as cod or haddock
  • 300g cooked and peeled prawns
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 200ml fish stock
  • 200ml double cream
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 50g butter
  • 50ml milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Place the fish fillets in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Remove from the oven and flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large pan, sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until softened. Add the fish stock and double cream, then bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the flaked fish and prawns to the pan, then stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and milk until smooth.
  6. Spread the fish and prawn mixture evenly in a baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, using a fork to create a decorative pattern on the surface.
  7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  8. Serve the Ferryside Fisherman's Pie hot, with a side of steamed greens or a crisp salad.
