  • 200 g (7.1oz) white fish (cod, haddock or pollock)
  • 200 g (7.1oz) salmon fillet
  • 140 g (4.9oz) smoked haddock
  • 70 g (2.5oz) prawns
  • 1 fish stock cube
  • 225 ml (7.9fl oz) double cream
  • 1 small leek, sliced
  • 2 hard boiled eggs
  • 40 g (1.4oz) cheddar cheese, grated
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 125 ml (4.4fl oz) milk
  • 320 g (11.3oz) peas
  • 25 g (0.9oz) butter
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • 3 sprigs of fresh herbs (tarragon, chives, mint), half chopped
  • 200 ml (7fl oz) water

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 220C, Gas Mark 7.
  • Cook the potatoes in boiling water until soft, then mash or pass through a sieve or potato ricer.
  • Check the fish for bones, cut it into chunks and place in the bottom of a large ovenproof dish with the prawns.
  • Pour the cream into a pan, crumble in the stock cube and bring to the boil, whisking to dissolve the cube.
  • Pour over the fish.
  • At the same time, blanch the leek in boiling water for 1 minute, just to soften it a bit.
  • Drain and immediately add to the fish.
  • Sprinkle with the chopped eggs and cheese.
  • Bring the milk to the boil and add to the potatoes.
  • Stir in, then add the egg yolks and stir to combine.
  • Don't season your potatoes, as we already have seasoning in the cream.
  • Fork over the top of the dish and place in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes, depending on your oven, and let it rest (it will continue cooking).
  • Glaze over with a bit of melted butter.
  • For the peas, add butter and water to the pan.
  • Once it emulsifies, crumble in the stock cube and heat gently.
  • Once the butter is melted and the stock cube dissolved, add the peas and cook for 5-6 minutes.
