Fish Pie.

This recipe is not a pastry pie but a potato top/base with a fish and egg sauce in the middle. We have used tinned smoked fish but real smoked fish would be better.
Remember to time the eggs when they start to boil, not when they are put in the pot. They need 8 minutes to be hard boiled.
You could even put some cheese in the sauce too.
This recipe is a lot better tasting than it sounds.
