Ingredients

1kg maris piper potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
70g butter
1 onion, finely chopped
4 tbsp plain flour
500ml semi-skimmed milk
240g sustainable smoked mackerel fillets, skin discarded and broken into 3cm chunks
275g sustainable smoked haddock, skinless and cut into 3cm chunks
180g sustainable raw king prawns, peeled
150g frozen peas
50g mature cheddar, grated
Seasonal greens to serve

Method

Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the potatoes. Cook for 15 minutes until tender, drain, then add 20g of the butter, season generously with salt and pepper and mash until smooth.
Meanwhile, in a large deep saucepan, melt the remaining 50g butter and cook the onion for 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Stir in the flour and cook gently for 2-3 minutes until it smells toasty. Add the milk a little at a time, stirring well to make a smooth sauce, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and season generously.
Gently stir in the mackerel, haddock, prawns and peas, then pour into a medium (about 1.5 litre) baking dish. Cover with the mash and sprinkle
the cheddar on top. Bake for 30 minutes until bubbling, then serve with seasonal greens.
