How to cook it
-
Peel and cube the potato and boil in salted water until fork tender, about 15 minutes, then drain and mash with half the butter and a splash of milk.
-
Heat the oven to 400F.
-
Place the white fish and smoked haddock in a wide pan, cover with the remaining milk, and poach gently until just cooked, about 6 minutes, then lift out, flake, and reserve the milk.
-
Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, whisk in the flour, and cook for a minute, then gradually whisk in the reserved poaching milk and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir the flaked fish, peas, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and parsley into the sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
-
Spoon into a baking dish, top with the mashed potato, scatter with cheddar, and bake until golden and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

When to cook it
Fish Pie takes about 75 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a proper project. It is eaten at dinner. It is at its best in winter, which is when what goes into it is worth buying.
