This recipe is part of our Good Square Meal campaign in collaboration with FareShare, the UK’s biggest food waste charity, to fund the distribution of up to 250,000 meals to children who need them most.

As part of the campaign, we’ve collaborated with baby weaning expert Shikha Gill, founder of My Little Food Critic, to create recipes based on Britain’s favourite regional delicacies.

These fish pie bites are based on Cullen skink, this is a regional favourite delicacy from Cullen in Scotland and are perfect for weaning babies to self-feed. They also freeze well for quick lunches.
