I like to make sure I have some smoked fish in my freezer for a midweek kedgeree when we're running out of ideas. This simple meal is cheap, easy and full of flavour. Not to mention it is very easily scalable for guests.

Ffor a vegetarian option, you can add a meat substitute and a little smoked paprika.
