Tips
- This fish pie can be given to your baby once they're weaned; leave out the mustard and use a mix of fish that doesn’t include a salty smoked variety, such as haddock and salmon.
- Ensure there aren’t any bones in the fish.
- To ensure the dish is still tasty without smoked fish, stir in an extra handful of cheese once you take the sauce off the heat, then add the rest of the ingredients.
- Blend if necessary for babies.
