Fish Pie
- 1/2 lb. cod (any thick white fish will do)
- 1/2 lb. wild salmon
- 7 oz. white crab meat
- 5-1/3 oz. spinach
- 3 soft boiled eggs
- 5-1/3 oz. raw fresh tiger prawns
- 5-1/3 oz. spinach
- 1/4 qt. heavy cream
- 1/8 qt. white wine (Champagne works excellently)
- 1 lb. potatoes (a floury King Edward is best)
- 1/8 qt. milk
- 1-3/4 oz. unsalted butter
- 3-1/2 oz. mature Cheddar cheese
- 1-3/4 oz. freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Peel the potatoes and slice into small cubes (this makes them cook quicker) and place into boiling salted water.
- Cook until soft.
- Melt a small knob of butter and a small drizzle of olive oil in a saucepan; add the salmon and cod cut into strips and seasoned well.
- Briefly cook in the oil/butter mixture for 1-2 minutes, then add the white wine.
- Allow the wine to boil for a few moments so the alcohol boils off, then add the cream and bring back to the simmer.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the Cheddar cheese and crab meat and season again.
- Quickly blanche the spinach in boiling water; drain.
- Layer the spinach into a pie dish and then slice the soft boiled eggs on top of the spinach.
- Gently spoon over the fish and cream mix.
- Remove the potatoes from the water; drain the water off.
- Individually push each potato through a fine seive.
- * Once seived, add the milk and butter; season and beat together.
- Gently spoon the potato over the fish, either do this as rustic you like, or use a palate knife to smooth the top.
- Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano to the top of the mash, and place in a moderate oven (350F/180C) until the top is golden brown (usually 10 minutes or so).
- Serve alone with a nice chilled Chablis.
