Ingredients

2lb smoked fish(any good quality,but I use haddock when I can get it)

1 pt milk plus 1/2 pt cream

4 oz Butter(less if your health concious)

2-3 oz gouda or gruyere cheese

1 bay leaf

2 oz flour

2 hard boiled eggs

1 Tbsp lemon juice-approx( optional)

seasoning to taste.

Potatoe topping

2-3lb cooked potatoes mashed with milk and butter to a soft consistency

add a little grated numeg and at last minute 1/2 teaspoon baking powder(this make the topping light and fluffy)

a generous amount of strong cheese(I use Tasty) for the topping

Directions

Poach the fish very gently in half the milk(a little more if neccesary)with bayleaf and allow to cool in the milk.Skin the fish and arrange in the base of a casserole dish or baking dish(approx 3pt capacity) with chopped hard boiled eggs

Make a rue by melting the butter in a heavy based saucepan and stirring in the flour, gradually add the "fish liquid"( remove the bayleaf at this point)stirring all the time then add the remaing milk and cream BIT BY BIT,stirring well after each addition (if the desired thickness is reached before all the liquid is used,make sure the cream is included in the sauce)simmer for a couple of minutes being careful not to allow the sauce to "split". Stir in theGouda / Gruyere and lastly stir in the lemon juice if using

Pour over the fish/eggs

Next top with the mashed potatoes and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake on a high shelf in the oven at 400* F (200*C) for about 30 minutes or until the pie is heated through and the top n icely browned
