Codfish Casserole

This very very easy fish pie recipe comes from The Modern Family Cookbook by Meta Givens, 1942. 

As a fish lover I found this absolutely delicious although I shouldnt call it Codfish Casserole.. but Haddock Casserole as thats what I had on hand. Also I used frozen peas.. instead of tinned

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.)'
  

• Fold in drained peas and flaked codfish and turn into a buttered casserole.
• Mix crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over top.
• Bake in a moderately slow oven (325° F.) for 45-50 minutes.
