Fish Pie

Having time to myself in the kitchen is having some wonderful results. This one is a simple yet extremely tasty fish pie recipe but be warned it is very rich.

For this one you will need, a packet of mixed diced fish, most supermarkets sell these now, a packet of raw king prawns, a large bag of potatoes, 200g of good cheddar, sweetcorn, a handful of mushrooms and a carrot.

First off, preheat the oven to 200 degrees, then put a large pan of water on to boil. Peel and dice your potatoes and add them to the boiling water. Whilst the spuds are boiling, take a large oven proof dish and into this grate the carrot and the cheddar then chop the mushrooms and add to the dish. To this add the fish and prawns and mix well before seasoning with salt and pepper then adding the sweetcorn to the top.

By now the potatoes should be cooked through. Remove from the heat, drain off the water then mash with milk or cream and a good knob of butter. It is best if the mash is really creamy and smooth. When mashed add the potato to the top of the dish smoothing over to fill any gaps then run over the surface with a fork to create ridges which will crisp up in the oven. Finally add the dish to the oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour.

When golden and crisp serve with your choice of salad or seasonal vegetables. Another super simple yet super tasty meal that is simple to prepare and bound to impress guests. Enjoy.
