Fish and Chips Pie Recipe

If you’re English then you may well have heard of the M&S Fish and Chips Pie. If you've been inspired to make your own, then here’s the recipe.

1. Preheat the oven to 180c/350f.
2. Make the chips by cutting the Potato into chunky sized chip shapes. Then boil in a saucepan of water for 4-5 minutes.
3. Bake in a dish in the oven for approx 30 minutes, stirring regularly.
4. Meanwhile, roll out the Shortcrust Pastry and line a 5x4 inch pie tin. Prick the base and inside edges of the pie with a folk.
5. Line the inside of the Pastry with greaseproof or parchment paper. Pour in some baking beans and blind-bake for 15 minutes.
6. Also bake the Fish in the oven on a grill tray for 15 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, make the mushy peas by cooking the Peas in a saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Then drain from their water.
8. Return the Peas to the saucepan, add the Butter then mash until you’re happy with the consistency.
9. Once cooked, remove everything from the oven and remove the baking beans from the pastry case.
10. Construct the pie by layering in the Mushy peas, Fish, Tartar Sauce, then top the pie off with the Chunky Chips.
11. Finally, place the pie back in the oven for a final 15 minutes to finish baking.
12. When the pastry turns golden and the chips are crisp, remove from the oven, cut the pie in half and serve straight away.
