Luxury Fish Pie
This luxurious fish pie uses smoked haddock, cod and prawns. Topped with swede and carrot mash, this is a great way of packing in some extra veggies and a good fish pie should be simple, satisfying and a family favourite. You can change the fish to suit your taste – salmon is particularly tasty, prawns and pollack work well too.
