Preheat oven to 180 ºC.
Place the fish in the dish you will be using (a shallow ovenproof dish) and cover with 1l of milk.
Add in the bay leaves and a good grinding of black pepper.
Cover with foil or the lid of the dish and poach in the oven for 10-15 mins until the fish is just done.

Boil the eggs separately and allow them to cool.
Boil the potatoes separately.
