Model Answer

Overall, it is apparent that four ingredients are used such as fresh salmon(a large edible fish), peas, Sauce and potatoes. The preparation process is separate for each ingredient.
To begin with potatoes, The potatoes are delivered to the factory up to a month in advance. Potatoes are cleaned, peeled and sliced respectively. These slices go through boiling and chilling stage before storing for the pie preparation. Turning to the fish preparation, it takes more time than the preparation of potatoes.
