Method

  • step 1

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then add the onion and fry for 5-8 mins until translucent but not browned. Add the potatoes and 300ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 10-15 mins.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, put the haddock in another pan and cover with the the milk. Cook gently for 5 mins, or until just tender. Remove the haddock from the milk with a slotted spoon (reserving the milk), transfer to a plate and leave to cool slightly. When cool enough to touch, flake into large pieces, removing any bones.

  • step 3

    Put the reserved milk and flaked haddock in the pan with the potato mixture and cook for another 5 mins. Season and sprinkle over the parsley to serve.

I had to add more liquid than this recipe recommended and some seasoning. Not sure this would stretch to 4 people. Maybe as a very small starter. My partner and I polished this off between us as a main for dinner.

Great recipe but as I like stronger flavours I added a few splashes of fish sauce. Worked perfectly.

question

I had this in Scotland, and had to come back and cook it. We felt this very very bland, even after seasoning. I feel like it needed cream, peas and mace! But of course, that will not be traditional. Did I do something wrong? I so want to love this dish….

I added various other ingredients. Mustard powder, garlic and fish sauce.

This was delicious, and like some of the other comments, used milk/cream throughout and served it on a bed of kale. Yummy!
