Place haddock and cod fillets in a pan. Pour over 20 fluid ounces of

strain liquid, then make it up to 30 fluid ounces with the remaining
10 fluid ounces of milk.
In a separate pan, melt butter or margarine. Remove pan from heat.
Stir in flour and gradually blend in milk. Return pan to heat,
stirring constantly. When liquid is smooth, bring sauce to the boil
to thicken. Add half the cheese and parsley, with cayenne pepper.
Season to taste.
Skin and flake fish, and place in a bowl with prawns, eggs and
sweetcorn (plus liquid from can). Stir in two-thirds of the sauce
(reserve remainder), then spoon half the mixture over the base of a 4
pint / 2.25 litre shallow ovenproof dish. Cover with a layer of
lasagne, repeat layers.
Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4. Spoon reserved sauce over
lasagne. Mix together remaining cheese and parsley. Sprinkle over
lasagne. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until golden brown. Serve
