Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Peel and quarter the potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the fish stock and milk. Add the bay leaf and bring to a gentle simmer.
Place the fish fillets in the liquid and poach for about 5-7 minutes, until cooked through. Remove fish carefully and set aside.
Add prawns to the stock and cook for 2 minutes, then remove and set aside.
Strain the stock to remove solids and reserve the liquid.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the gluten-free flour to make a roux, cooking gently for 2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the reserved stock/milk until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Add the chopped parsley and lemon zest to the sauce.
Flake the fish fillets, ensuring no bones remain, and distribute them and the prawns evenly in an ovenproof dish.
Pour the prepared sauce over the fish and seafood, ensuring an even coating.
Once potatoes are tender, drain and mash with the cream and a knob of butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the mashed potatoes over the fish mixture, spreading evenly with a fork. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Let the pie rest for a few minutes before serving hot, optionally garnished with additional chopped parsley.
