Codfish Casserole

The weather has been so hot recently...and we have been eating a lot of salads using the fresh vegetables from our garden. But sometimes I just like to have something "cooked"... and not too heavy. I'm still working my way through my vast 1940s recipe collection and this very easy fish pie fits the bill. The recipe comes from The Modern Family Cookbook by Meta Givens, 1942. Fish is such a healthy food... and I really dont eat it enough. I think that is going to change though.

As a fish lover I found this absolutely delicious although I shouldn't call it Codfish Casserole.. but Haddock Casserole as thats what I had on hand. Also I used frozen peas.. instead of tinned

This was a hit and I will definitely be making this again

1½ lb. salt codfish
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 No. 1 tin peas
Milk
1 cup grated cheese
Salt and pepper to suit taste
1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

• Freshen codfish
• Drain and flake the fish.
• Melt butter, blend in flour
• Add liquid drained from peas, to which enough milk has been added to make 2 cups.
• Stir constantly over direct heat until thickened; then add grated cheese.
• Add seasonings. (Salt may not be needed if fish retains enough salt.)
