  3. Add the fish to a pan and cover with 150ml milk and 150ml water. Bring to a simmer and heat for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat, cover and leave to cook through for 10 minutes.

  4. Drain the fish and add it to the mash. Flake up the fish a bit, but try and keep some decent pieces for texture.
