Method

Put the haddock in a pan with the milk, bay leaves, peppercorns and 300ml (1/2pt) cold water. Cover, bring to the boil and then gently simmer for 2 minutes. Turn of the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
Remove the fish from the pan with a slotted spoon. Flake into large chunks, discarding the skin and any bones; set aside. Strain the cooking liquid into a jug.
Heat the oil and butter in a pan. Gently fry the onion and leeks for 10 minutes, or until softened. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes more, then stir in the reserved cooking liquid. Tip in the potatoes and simmer for 15 minutes, or until tender.
Meanwhile, fry the bacon pieces in a little oil, until golden and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen towel.
Bring the soup back to a simmer and stir in the haddock, prawns and half the chives. Ladle into bowls and top with a small dollop of crème fraîche (if using), then scatter over the bacon and remaining chives.
