-
Preheat the grill to high.
Make sure you have cooked and mashed the potato first.
-
Stud the onion with the cloves
and bay leaf. Warm the milk in a pan with the studded
onion, then add the haddock and poach for 2-3 minutes.
-
In a pan with a lid, steam the
mussels in the wine. Once cooked, pick the meat out of the
shells. (Omit this stage if not using)
-
To make the white sauce, melt
the butter in a pan, whisk in the flour and cook out for 2
minutes. Add the milk and whisk simmer until bubbling.
Stir in the parsley and the prawns and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the rest of the fish and season.
-
Put the shells on scrunched-up
foil to stabilise them. Spoon the fish into the scallop
shells with the sauce.
-
Pipe the mash on top and
sprinkle with the grated
cheese, then grill or put in a very hot oven (220 C) for 5
- 7 minutes until golden. Garnish with watercress or other
leaves.
