Skin, bone and dice fish into equally sized pieces and place in a deep baking dish. Add peeled cooked prawns and mix into fish. Set aside.
Peel potatoes, rinse and put on to boil or steam.
Meanwhile lightly saute onions and carrots in a deep pan until onions have softened. Do not brown. Add double cream and stir. Add grated cheese and stir until melted and sauce has thickened. Add English mustard to your own taste. Season with salt and pepper and stir in chopped Parsley. Pour sauce over fish in the baking dish, mix together and set aside.

Notes/Tips
Filling just on its own, but can be served with veg of your choice and a large helping of Ketchup.
Can be frozen.
For variation, you can add quartered hard boiled egg slices to fish mixture along with uncooked spinach stirred throughout. Be sure to evenly distribute the egg pieces.
Fresh fish from your fishmonger is ideal, rather than frozen, pre-prepared portions. Worth paying a little extra for fresh, so it doesn't water the sauce down and you get the fuller flavor.
A little expensive, but excellent as a family treat and mixture can be portioned up and frozen for use later, as a ready made warmer for the days when cooking from scratch isn't an option.
