Add flour to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Gradually pour in milk, stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the fish, peas, lemon juice, and parsley to the sauce, stirring gently to combine.

Season with black pepper and transfer the mixture to a baking dish.

Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading evenly to cover the filling.

Sprinkle cheese on top of the potatoes.

Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
