Notes

You can use fresh or frozen fish for this recipe. If you use frozen fish fillets, take them out of the freezer before cooking the potatoes, so that they are easier to cut.

To make the fish pie ahead of time, transfer into an ovenproof dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
