Heat the oven to 200°C (180° fan) 400°F gas 6. Grease 1 large baking dish or 4 individual baking dishes.

Mix together the fish and the prawns and place in the baking dish. Heat the butter in a pan and cook the leek until soft. Stir in the flour, stock and cream and, stirring continuously, simmer for 10 minutes until thickened. Use a little more or less stock as necessary.
