For the pie: Place the haddock in a large pan. Add milk, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a and simmer. Cover and cook on a low heat for 4 minutes. Let the fish cool enough to handle. Strain the milk into a bowl and reserve. Flake the fish coarsely, discarding the skin.
Wash the scallops and remove any gristle. Slice each scallop into 2 discs. Peel and devein the shrimp. Set the scallops and shrimp aside. Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and let it cook for a minute or until lightly browned. Work in the cider until the mixture is smooth. Next, add the strained milk, sour cream and mustard. Bring to the boil, stirring, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring. Remove the mixture from the heat. Gently fold in the fish, scallops, and shrimp. Turn into a shallow dish and spoon the mashed potatoes on the top. Bake at 350º for 40 minutes until golden.
