Put any fish in a dish, cover it with milk. Cover dish and icrowave until fish cooked. Drain and reserve milk. Squeeze lemon over fish in dish. Make white sauce with butter, thyme, dill, flour and the reserved milk. Cover the fish. Add mash on top and put knobs of butter on top. Grill until brown.

This is because I HATE cheese and fish!

Delia has an easy assembly one - boil undyed smoked haddock in water for about 10 minutes, flake fish into dish, pour over store bought cheese sauce (the fresh pasta ones), quarter some hard boiled eggs and add and top with mash potato and bake.

You can add some wilted spinach too with the fish.

Put some white fish, cut up, in an oven dsh. Add a white or parsley sauce. Top with mash. Cook in oven for 20 minutes. Quick, simple and pretty cheap too.

Poach some fish in milk (a mix of white fish and a smoked fish is nice)
Make a cheese sauce using the fishy milk
Put fish in a casserole dish with some cooked frozen peas/swwetcorn (or anything really eg hard boiled egg) and pour over cheese sauce
Top with mashed potato and bake in oven

The one I do is poach undyed smoked haddock in milk for 10 mins, flake it into an oven dish with a pack of (defrosted) frozen cooked prawns a couple of handfuls of still frozen peas and a carton of creme fraiche. Mix it all together and add some of the milk the fish was poached in to moisten it. Top with mash potaot and grated cheese. Oven 170 degrees C for 30 mins or until golden and crispy on top.

You can always use Coley, which is a very inexpensive white fish - and frozen is fine, and again, often cheaper. If it can be cooked from frozen, just make sure your sauce is very thick, as the frozen fish will be more watery.

I discovered a while back that you don't have to cook the fish first. Just make your white sauce (add whatever flavourings you want - bay leaf, parsley, and dill are good), cut up the fish, and bung into a dish with the sauce and anything else you want to go with it (we like sweetcorn, chopped up tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, maybe peas, carrots whatever you like really), top with mashed potato and cheese and crumbled up cornflakes on the top and backe in the oven for half an hour. Cracking Grommit! Dead easy.

We use pollock which is yoummy and is dead cheap. Its Sainsbury's basic frozen fish so much cheaper than many of the others and has much more flovour. We also often add basic prawns too.

This is the best fish pie recipe in the world. Just be careful, it's addictive. Here is my friends recipe:

2x Salmon

2x Cod

1x little bag of prawns or shrimps

1x pack of crab sticks (cut up into smaller pieces)

Bay leaves

1.5 cups milk

1 thingy of cream

Cheddar cheese

Mash (either potatoes, I used butternut)

Bag of peas

Corn starch

butter

Boil the salmon and cod in the milk in a frying pan with the 2 bay leaves, when the fish is cooked (doesn’t take long and no need to make sure it’s cooked right through because it goes in the oven)

Break the fish up into a roasting dish, add the crab sticks and shrimps and peas.

Strain the left over milk into a jug, then add the cream, use this mixture to make a white sauce, using the butter, corn starch and cheese. Normal white sauce however you make it, except with the cream and milk mixture.

When the white is ready pour it over the fish in the roasting dish. Cover with the mash, grate some cheese on the mash and put in the oven for 30 mins.

What I do differently is I don't use crabsticks (too processed!). I don't use cream ( you don't need it). I use a combination of half potatoe and half butternut mash - it's divine - much better than just potatoe. Some people don't know what butternut is, so it's just like a pumkin squash but much better. They have them in most shops.

It's not too expensive and it goes a long way. Please try it and let me know what you think!!

Enjoy :)

Oh excellent! Some good (basic) ones here. Was wondering about whether tuna ones, white fish ones and mixture of white fish, prawns etc.

Am not big on making white/cheese sauce so will by jar or packet.

Have been wondering about whether Sainsbury's "Alaskan pollock" was worth buying tarantula - you have just convinced me Smile

thanks again all Smile
