12. Once oven preheated. Place fish pie in the middle of the oven for 25 to 30 mins. If top does not crisp up, use the grill in your oven for 2 to 5 minutes. I served my fish pie with steamed sweet cauliflower and sautéed samphire with a squirt of lemon juice..

It is delicious in a huge number of very different dishes. Pour the milk into a large saucepan, add the bay leaves and spring onion and bring to a simmer. Instead of plain old mash, I've created a crispy root veg topping to add colour and texture - it's a bit like a rosti, only baked instead of fried. Fish expert Mitch Tonks' fish pie recipe has bags of flavour from the smoked haddock, prawns and cod. Bring to the boil and then simmer until tender.
