- Gently poach the fish in 300 ml of the milk seasoned with salt and pepper for 15 minutes..
- Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, then mash with the milk and butter.
- Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, run under cold water, then peel and slice.

- Place the flaked fish in an ovenproof dish add the sliced hard-boiled eggs and top with the raw scallops. As they don't take long to boiled eggs and top with the raw scallops. As they don't take long to cook its better to put them in raw and they will be cooked in the oven.
- Pour over the white sauce.
- Cover the sauce with the mashed potatoes and fork up the potato to create crispy bits.
- Place the dish on an oven tray and place in the oven for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the potato topping is golden brown and crisp on top
Notes
Fish can be varied according to availability and personal preference, smoked fish is a great choice just remember to reduce the salt in the sauce as it tends to be saltier.
I served the Fish Pie with Asparagus, sauteed in butter with a little water to create some steam.
