Dear Rabbi, I've had gefilte fish at Orthodox homes, where the fish plate and silverware were removed before the chicken soup and meat were served. Why must the meat and fish be separated?

Could you please explain the prohibition of eating fish and cheese together? I would like to know where this law/custom is derived from as I have been told that it is a Chassidic custom. Also, if it is a Chassidic custom and, seeing as though I'm not Chassidic, even if I have been observing this custom for many years under the impression that it was mandatory, do I still have to continue with it? Thanks!
