Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, then add the chopped onion. Cook for 8–10 minutes until the onion is soft.

Add the potatoes, cover then simmer for 10–12 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.

Add the mace, cayenne pepper and some seasoning then stir in milk.

Add in the king prawns, salmon, smoked haddock, cod and muscles (all pre–cooked) and simmer for 4 minutes. Add the cream and simmer for another minute. Check seasoning and sprinkle with parsley and serve.
