FISH PIE

Method:

1. Peel, wash and boil potatoes in a medium saucepan with water, ½ tsp sea salt and ¼ of onion, cook until fork tender. Then drain vegetable water into a bowl to use after, then mash potatoes with 1 tbsp of butter and ¼ cup milk.
2. Grease a pie pan or pan of choice with butter and cover with ½ of the mashed potatoes.
3. In another medium saucepan add your salted or fresh cod with water and 1/4 of onion for taste, boil for 5 minutes then remove from heat. “ If you are using salted cod soak for about 2 to 3 hours before cooking, discard water” “ if you are using fresh cod and ½ tsp sea salt for taste” when cod is cooked drain and flake apart.
4. In a frying pan on medium heat fry chopped onions in butter and oil, with a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Fry until part cooked then add flour, fry for another minute, then add vegetable broth, continue cooking until thickened. ‘this is called a drawn butter”
5. Add flaked cod over mashed potatoes in the pan, making sure ALL bones are removed before using, then add drawn butter” fried onions and flour thickening” over the flaked cod, then top with the remaining mashed potatoes. 
6. Melt ½ tsp butter and brush over the mashed potatoes before baking it in a 350ºF preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown. “ add cheese over top if you wish”
7. Remove from heat and serve with fresh bread or rolls, and tea. “ mustard pickles or chow chow” corn relish or veggies. 

Bonita’s Tip: If using salted cod, soak in cold water overnight or double boil by boiling first in just hot water and drain, then add more hot water boil for 5 minutes then remove water.
