  10. Melt the 1 oz butter in a pan, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  11. Gradually stir in the reserved milk and bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer for 2 minutes.
  12. Remove from the heat.
  13. Stir in the flaked fish, parsley and prawns and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  14. Spoon the mixture into an ovenproof dish and cover with the potato mixture, marking it in a attractive pattern with a fork.

Substitute unsmoked fish, such as cod or haddock, for the smoked fish or, for special occasions, salmon or monkfish. Replace the Cheddar cheese with another brand cheese, if preferred, or omit it altogether.
