400 grams white fish fillets
1 teaspoon Ground Lemon Myrtle

Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius. Peel potatoes and cut into small cubes (approx 1.5cm). Cook until just tender - I use the microwave but boiling is also fine. I'd also add some sweet potato normally, instead of one of the brushed potatoes, but had run out. Give it a try though :) When cooked, drain and pour the potato cubes into a baking / casserole dish.

Finely chop the celery and onion. I use the food processor, simply so the veg is nice and disguised for the kids to eat!

Cut the fish fillets (skin removed) into cubes, approximately 1 inch square. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the fish pieces, in batches if necessary. Add the prawns for the last 30 seconds, and then remove the seafood from pan, adding to the baking dish on top of the cooked potatoes.

About
This is very 'home cooking' style pie, easy to adjust depending on what you have on hand. You can easily replace the fresh fish and prawns with a tin of salmon or tuna, and vary the vegetables as you wish! Serves 6.
