- Place the fish in a saucepan and cover with a little milk, bring to a simmer and poach for 5 minutes until tender, drain but reserve the poaching milk!
- Use a little of the butter to grease the baking dish. Flake the fish and place in the dish with the leeks, mushrooms and prawns/mussels and scatter over the parsley.
- Preheatthe oven to 200 degrees C / 400 degrees F / Gas 6.

- When all the milk has been added and the sauce is smooth, return the saucepan to the heat, stirring continously until thickened. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes then add 100g of the cheese and season to taste.
- Pour half the sauce over the fish, arrange the potato slices on top and cover with the remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and cook on a baking sheet in the centre of a preheated oven for 45 minutes until golden brown.
