Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F/gas 8.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into 2.5cm chunks, then put into boiling salted water and bring back to the boil for 2 minutes.
- Carefully add the eggs to the pan and cook for a further 8 minutes, or until hard-boiled, by which time the potatoes should also be cooked.
- At the same time, steam the spinach in a colander above the pan. This will only take a minute. When the spinach is done, remove from the colander and gently squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Drain the potatoes in the colander. Remove the eggs, cool under cold water, then peel and quarter them. Place to one side.
- Peel and finely chop the onion, then peel, halve and finely chop the carrot.
- In a separate pan, slowly fry the onion and carrot in a little oil for about 5 minutes, then add the double cream and bring just to the boil.
- Remove from the heat and finely grate in 2 good handfuls of cheese, then squeeze in the lemon juice and stir through the mustard.
- Pick and finely chop the parsley and stir into the cream mixture.
- Slice the fish into strips then place in an earthenware dish with the spinach and eggs and mix together, pouring over the creamy vegetable sauce.
- The cooked potatoes should be drained and mashed - add a bit of oil, sea salt, black pepper and a touch of nutmeg (if using). Spread on top of the fish. Don't bother piping it to make it look pretty - it's a homely hearty thing.
- Place in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden.
- Serve with some nice peas or greens, not forgetting your baked beans and tomato ketchup. Tacky but tasty, and that's what I like.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut a small slit in each potato and place onto a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are baking, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in Cheddar cheese, cream, mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is warm and Cheddar has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place white fish and shrimp in a 3 1/2-quart oven-proof baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the fish; stir until well combined.
- Scoop the flesh out of the baked potatoes and place in a large bowl; discard the skins. Add 4 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until butter has melted and potatoes are smooth. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top of the fish.
- Bake until sauce is bubbling and potato topping is golden brown, about 55 minutes.

Tips:
- Select the right fish: Choose firm-fleshed fish that will hold up well in the pie filling, such as cod, haddock, or salmon.
- Cook the fish properly: Be careful not to overcook the fish, as this will make it tough and dry. Flake the fish into large pieces before adding it to the pie.
- Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the fish pie together. Use a combination of butter, flour, milk, and seasonings to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables add color, texture, and nutrients to the fish pie. Common vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
- Top with mashed potatoes or puff pastry: The topping is what makes the fish pie truly special. Mashed potatoes are a classic choice, but you can also use puff pastry or even a combination of the two.
- Bake until golden brown: Bake the fish pie until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Fish pie is a classic British dish that is perfect for a comforting meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its flaky fish, creamy sauce, and flavorful vegetables, fish pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
