Combine milk with reserved milk from cooking fish and blend into flour mixture until smooth. Cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Simmer for 3 mins. Season to taste.
Add fish, vegetables, eggs, parsley and lemon juice to sauce. Season to taste. Distribute between ramekins and top with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5 mins.
Arrange French fries on top of pies and bake for 5-10 mins, until golden brown and heated through.
