Fish Pie with Hash Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 Onion - finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon oil canola, olive or vegetable oil
  • 750 grams Fish cut into 2cm chunks, I am using Hoki
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed
  • 1 cup Potato cubed and boiled
  • 3 Eggs hard boiled & cut in half
  • 1 packet of 700 gram hash bites or tater tops

White Sauce

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup White flour
  • 2 ½ cup milk
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a pan over a medium heat, add the oil and then the onion. Sauté the onion until translucent. Take off the heat and reserve until later
  2. Place the fish and peas in a large bowl.
  3. Add the onion and lightly season with salt.
  4. Make the white sauce by melting the butter in a pot over a medium heat.
  5. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute stirring the whole time. It will start to foam.
  6. Remove from the heat and add a little milk. Stirring constantly. Put back on the heat. Gradually keep adding the milk and stirring. White sauce isn’t scary. If it gets lumpy just grab a whisk and give it a wee whisk. I usually do. If it is too thick add a little more milk.
  7. Once cooked to your desired consistency, season and wait to cool for a few mins before pouring over the fish mixture
  8. In your pie dish or baking dish, put the fish mixture. Roughly level the top. Then make 6 small indentations with a spoon and add the eggs
  9. Top with frozen Hash Bites.
  10. Bake at 180 for approx. 45 mins until fish is cooked and Hash Bites are golden.
  11. Serve with greens.

Recipe Notes

I like to use a firm fleshed fish like Hoki or Monkfish, and for a more traditional Fish Pie I use a combination of 300grams monkfish, 250grams gurnard, 200 grams Smoked Warehou. If using smoked fish flake this first.
