Ingredients

• 500 g White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock), skinless and boneless
• 500 ml Milk
• 50 g Butter
• 50 g Plain flour
• 100 g Grated cheese (e.g., mature cheddar)
• 200 g Cooked peeled prawns
• 150 g Frozen peas
• 800 g Potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 50 ml Double cream
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 Ready-made puff pastry sheets
• 1 Egg, beaten (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and mash with the double cream, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Poach the fish fillets in a saucepan with the milk on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and flake it into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the milk.

Step 4

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Step 5

Gradually add the reserved milk to the roux, whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce. Cook for a few minutes until thickened.

Step 6

Stir in the grated cheese, mixing until melted. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and optional parsley.

Step 7

Gently fold the flaked fish, cooked prawns, and frozen peas into the sauce. Divide this mixture evenly among six ovenproof ramekins or small pie dishes.

Step 8

Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the fish mixture in each ramekin, spreading it evenly to cover completely.

Step 9

Cut the puff pastry sheets into six circles slightly larger than the diameter of the ramekins. Place a pastry circle over each, pressing the edges lightly to seal.

Step 10

Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the pies in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the pies to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your individual fish bake pies with your favorite sides!
