English casserole with fish and shrimp

Place the fish in a sufficiently large, ovenproof dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour half of the milk over it and place a few knobs of butter on top (about 1/4 of the total amount). Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes. Carefully drain the liquid from the dish and set aside. Remove the skin and any bones from the fish and cut it into relatively large pieces. Melt the rest of the butter, add the flour, and gradually add the fish stock, stirring well. Then slowly add the rest of the milk and season with parsley, salt, and pepper. Grease an ovenproof dish well and add the fish pieces and shrimp. Divide the hard-boiled eggs, lemon juice, and capers over the dish. Finally, pour the sauce over the fish. Mash the potatoes with the remaining ingredients and pour over the contents of the ovenproof dish. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for about half an hour until everything is golden brown.
