Heat the milk up slightly and sieve the plain flour into the warm milk, whisky vigorously all the time, to avoid lumps, until it thickens. Carefully take the fish out of the milk and flake the fish into small pieces into an oven-proof dish discard the bay leaf from the milk.

Take the pan off the heat and allow to cook slightly. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer very gently over a low heat until the fish is cooked, and is opaque and starting to flake.

On the topic of pies I have a little rant.I just find that some bakeries in Trinidad does real skimp on the filling when making their pastry pies. I have no idea how this came to be.I don't even have an answer for that one. When we say saffron in Trini we actually mean Turmeric or Hardi. Here's an example of a word that's confused: Saffron. So you see my predicament and so it is with many other words we have in Trinidad and Tobago many of which is just normal everyday talk.
