Preparation

Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F (200°C)).
Boil the potatoes in a pan of water for 15 mins, then drain and mash with half the butter, cream, salt, and pepper.
In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a boil with the salmon and cod, simmering for 3 mins.
Add raw prawns in the last minute if using.
Transfer the fish and prawns to a baking dish, discarding any skin.
Reserve the cooking liquid.
Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and cook for 1 min.
Gradually add the reserved liquid, stirring until thickened.
Remove from heat and mix in half the cheese and a pinch of pepper.

Plating & Serving

Pour the sauce over the fish and prawns in the baking dish.
Spread the mashed potatoes on top, roughing up the surface with a fork.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 15-20 mins until golden.
Garnish with chives before serving.
