There are lots of fish pie recipes available online, and after reading about 10 of them, I took the most appealing bits from a bunch of them and created my own mash-up (no pun intended) version. It turned out amazing! I ate way more than I should have, and it’s become an often-requested family favourite.

Instructions

- In a small saucepan, place the butter, flour and leeks, and heat gently until the butter melts, stirring. Cook for a minute and gradually whisk in the milk. Bring the milk to a soft boil, stirring constantly to remove lumps. Cook until thickened and take off the heat. Stir in a handful of cheddar cheese.
- In a large bowl, place the fish, frozen vegetables, and chives. Pour the milk mixture on top and stir to combine. Spoon into an ovenproof dish or 6-8 individual pie dishes.
- Spoon the potato on top of the fish mixture and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and bubbling at the edges.
