A really satisfying
British Good Friday supper traditionally enjoyed by fishermen and their families.
Ingredients:
450g
cod or
haddock fillets
600ml milk
salt and freshly ground
black pepper
40g butter
40g plain flour
3 tsp freshly-chopped
parsley
900g potatoes, peeled and cubed
a little cream or milk
25-50g butter
100g grated cheese
Method:
Put the fish in an ovenproof dish and pour over the milk, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake in an oven pre-heated to 190°C for 15 minutes before straining the milk from the fish (reserve some for the sauce). Flake the fish into a bowl. Meanwhile melt the butter in a medium saucepan, add the flour and mix well. Allow the mixture to bubble gently for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
Remove from heat at this point and add enough milk stock to form a thick sauce. Add the parsley and season to taste. Bring the sauce back to the boil, stirring continually until it thickens then pour over the fish.
Meanwhile boil the potatoes in salted water for about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash with a little milk or cream, butter and pepper. Use this to cover the fish and smooth over with a fork. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and return to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Serve with fresh garden peas.
