Healthy Fish Pie with Crushed Chive and Cheddar Potato Topping

Fish pie is a classic for a reason, but my version is a little bit lighter than most thanks to a crispy crushed potato topping instead of your typical mash. I personally prefer the crushed potato version as it gives you some texture whereas more classic versions can all be quite soft when mash is used for the topping. You can use whatever fish mix you like, but for me smoked haddock is a must in there to give you a slight smoky flavour, while chunks of haddock, cod or salmon would also work well. Prawns just make it feel that little be more luxurious. I made the creamy sauce using the poaching liquid from the fish, and with plenty of nutmeg, mustard, bay and black pepper you’ve got a base with plenty of flavour. Chives and cheddar cheese add colour and flavour to the topping, while a good few handfuls of spinach amp up the veggie goodness.
