Sunday night dinner is a time for comfort food. To console yourself about the weekend being over and work being only a few too-short hours of sleep away. Soup in winter and a quiet beer with the neighbours in summer. Fish Pie is the perfect comforting Sunday night fare.
My fish pie is a pretty basic version of this classic dish, with a slight twist of mixing grated courgette into the topping - just to sneak some veg in. I have used fresh bay leaves to flavour the white sauce and the result is a wonderful delicately flavoured sauce. Cooking with fresh bay leaves is a revelation if you have only ever used the dried version.
