Fish Pie recipie

Does anyone have a simple recipe for fish pie.
Someone I know mentioned they used smoked haddock,king prawns,boiled egg and parsley sauce but all the recipies I have looked for seem to have loads more ingrediants and seem very complicated.

This Jamie Oliver one is good:

5 large potatoes, peeled and diced into 2.5cm/1" squares
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 free-range eggs
2 large handfuls of fresh spinach
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, halved and finely chopped
extra virgin olive oil
about 285ml/1/2 pint double cream
2 good handfuls of grated mature
Cheddar or Parmesan cheese
juice of 1 lemon
1 heaped tsp English mustard
1 large handful of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
455g/1lb haddock or cod fillet, skin removed, pin-boned and sliced into strips
nutmeg (optional)

Method
Preheat oven to 230c/450f/Gas 8
1 Put the potatoes into salted boiling water and bring back to the boil for two minutes.
2 Carefully add the eggs to the pan and cook for another eight minutes until hard boiled, by which time the potatoes should also be cooked.
3 At the same time, steam the spinach in a colander above the pan. This will only take a minute.
4 When the spinach is done, remove from the colander and gently squeeze any excess moisture away. Drain the potatoes in the colander. Remove the eggs, cool under cold water, peel and quarter them. Put to one side.
5 In a separate pan, slowly fry the onion and carrot in olive oil for about five minutes, add the double cream and bring just to the boil.
6 Remove from the heat and add the cheese, lemon juice, mustard and parsley.
7 Put the spinach, fish and eggs into an appropriately sized earthenware dish and mix together, pouring over the creamy vegetable sauce. Drain and mash the cooked potatoes - add a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and a touch of nutmeg if you like. Spread on top of the fish.
8 Don't bother piping it to make it look pretty. Place in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden. Serve with some nice peas or greens, baked beans and tomato ketchup.

This is what I do

Steam some haddock or cod, salmon, smoked haddock. chop into pieces.

make a basic white sauce. add prawns, chopped boiled egg, cooked fish, peas, sweetcorn. (sometimes even fry some mushrooms or peppers if they need using and add them)

cook and mash some potatoes. Spread it over the top. add some grated cheese and cook under a grill.

You can make one in the slow cooker too if you wanted.

have to agree with this

the best fish pie ever

but you may be better cooking your eggs, potatos and spinach separately and doubling the spinach quantity

good luck and enjoy it
