Ingredients
  • 2 pound Cod or haddock fillets
  • 1 pint Milk
  • 3 large Hard-boiled eggs, shelled
  • 2 oz Butter
  • 2 oz Flour
  • 2 tbsp Chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp Chopped capers
  • 1 lb Mashed potatoes
  • 1 pinch Salt and black pepper
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 2
    Place fish fillets in a saucepan, cover with milk, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently until fish is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. 3
    Remove fish from milk, reserving the milk. Flake the fish into large chunks and set aside.
  4. 4
    Butter a 2- to 2.5-pint pie dish and layer the flaked fish evenly in the bottom.
  5. 5
    Slice the hard-boiled eggs and arrange them in a single layer on top of the fish.
  6. 6
    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  7. 7
    Gradually whisk in the reserved milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens smoothly.
  8. 8
    Stir in chopped parsley, capers, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
  9. 9
    Pour the white sauce evenly over the fish and egg layers.
  10. 10
    Spread mashed potatoes over the top, smoothing it out and creating ridges with a fork for texture.
  11. 11
    Dollop small amounts of butter over the potato topping.
  12. 12
    Bake for 30 minutes, or until the potato topping is lightly browned and the sauce is bubbling.
  13. 13
    Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
