Method

  • step 1

    Cook the potatoes and swede in boiling water until tender (about 20 minutes).

  • step 2

    Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C.While the potatoes and swede cook, put the soft cheese and stock into a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring with a wooden spoon, until blended and smooth. Now add the blended cornflour and cook until thick.

  • step 3

    Stir the fish into the sauce with the prawns and parsley. Season with some pepper.

  • step 4

    Tip the mixture into a 1.5 litre/2¾ pint baking dish. Drain the potatoes and swede, mash them well and season with black pepper. Spoon the mash over the fish to cover it completely. Bake for 25-30 minutes until piping hot, then transfer to a hot grill for a few minutes to brown the top. Serve with frozen peas or sweetcorn.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING IT SPECIAL

Make a really special version by using salmon instead of cod and frozen seafood cocktail instead of the prawns.

MAKING IT BUDGET

For an economical version, add frozen peas and sliced mushrooms to the sauce instead of the prawns.

The nicest fish pie recipe ever! I used smoked haddock instead of prawns. Will definitely make this again, amazing

Sorry but I rather freestyled this 😁 I used no fat Greek yogurt instead of the cream cheese, added some finely chopped mushrooms, used smoked basa instead of cod and substituted sweet potato for the swede and it was delicious

I'm not a cook and I don't particularly like cooking, but since I retired I thought it was time to make some proper food. I was a little disappointed in this recipe, because I wanted a buttery fish pie and I got a garlic and herb fish pie. Because I don't cook, I didn't really know how to salvage…
