Preparation Method :
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Grease a 2 litre (70 fl oz/8 cup) ovenproof dish. Melt 60 grams (2 ¼ oz) of the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in the flour until pale and foaming. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the wine, cream and milk.
- Return to high heat and stir until the sauce boils and thickens. Season. Add the cheese, mustard, horseradish, onion and crumbs. Mix well and set aside.
- Melt the remaining butter in a large pan and add the fish and scallops in batches.
- Stir over low heat until the seafood starts to change colour. Drain, add to the sauce along with the prawns, then transfer to your dish.
- Mix together the topping ingredients and spread over the seafood. Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden.
