This lovely home-cooked Fish Pie recipe has all the flavours combined with a tasty topping. You can vary and mix the fish depending on availability. Cod Loin is ideal and any flaky fish such as salmon works well with some large prawns mixed in for extra taste.
The taste can be varied with either a Parsley or Onion Sauce.
You ideally want to end up with 3/4 inch of mashed potato on the top and extra vegetables such as courgettes can be added if you want to vary the recipe.
