Method

  1. 1

    Gently poach the cod in the milk for 6 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon, reserving the milk. Flake the fish.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir for 2 minutes to form a roux.

  3. 3

    Gradually whisk in the reserved milk until smooth. Simmer, stirring, for 5 minutes until thick.

  4. 4

    Stir in the dill, lemon zest, peas, raw prawns, and flaked cod. Season generously.

  5. 5

    Cool the filling completely, then freeze in a foil pie dish or tub. Do not freeze with mashed potato topping.

  6. 6

    To serve, defrost overnight, top with freshly made mash, and bake at 200°C for 25 minutes until bubbling.
