A delicious super easy Dairy Free Fish Pie that is incredibly comforting and the perfect autumn or winter dinner to share with family and friends or even for a quiet cosy night in.
This fish pie is amazingly creamy and packs so much flavour you won’t even believe it’s free-from dairy and gluten.
It’s a recipe that my parents have been making me for years and it’s one of my absolute favourites.
You’re going to absolutely love this fish pie, it’s:
- Incredibly easy
- Warming
- Healthy
- Versatile
- Loaded with veggies
- Dairy & Gluten free
Here are all the ingredients you’ll need to make this tasty homemade fish pie.
The great thing about this fish pie is that it’s really versatile meaning you can swap to use any fish you like.
Using prawns and salmon can increase the price over other fish so swap for different if you wish.
It couldn’t be simpler to make. All you need to do is prepare all the fish and veg and chuck it into a baking dish, mix and top with mashed potato and place it in the oven, that’s it!
You could always swap the white potato mash for sweet potato or other veg such as butternut squash, parsnip or pumpkin etc.

This comforting creamy fish pie is dairy free and naturally gluten free and egg free. Perfect for those who suffer with multiple food allergies or those looking for healthier options.
I eat the leftovers the next day and the flavour comes through even more! I don’t recommend freezing this recipe but reheating for lunch/dinner the next day is fine.
If reheating make sure to use raw prawns as you shouldn’t reheat them twice!
I love to serve mine with a simple crunchy fresh side salad but it will easily feed 4-5 people on it’s own.

I made this for my family, and they bloody loved it!!!! Thank you! I recently turned vegan, so I wanted a dairy free pie. We have locally sourced fish near us, so I figured we’d have some fish. There’s my life story, hope you enjoyed. Thank you again!!
Great recipe, i have coeliac disease and use lactofree cheese and milk. Lovely flavour and good comfort food. Thankyou x
Delicious and easy fish pie recipe. Left out carrot (intolerant) and added frozen sweetcorn. I used defrosted fish pie mix of fish. No dill either as it had sold out. Will definitely make it again. Thank you.
Hi James, I’m gluten and dairy free plus have other food migraine triggers. Would this recipe still work if I didn’t use cheese ? Anything else I could add instead ? Thanks
Hey Melissa, are you still unable to use vegan cheese? Which is what I use!
I am planning to cook this in individual pie dishes – would I still cook it for the same amount of time?
Hey Lesley, I would give it similar time yeah, maybe 5 minutes less 🙂
If I double the ingredients (cooking for 11), should I increase the cooking time?
Also – could I make this the night before and refrigerate?
Hey Eve, thanks for the questions. I would add a few more minutes maybe 10. You will definitely need a large dish when doubling or if you use 2 dishes stick at the same timeframes. Yes you could make the night before and reheat (make sure if using prawns that they are raw and not cooked as you can’t reheat cooked prawns twice)
Hi James,
Can I use frozen fish pie mix?
Hey Mel, yes that should work just fine! Enjoy 🙂
Made it tonight and although I was sceptical about just mixing all the ingredients raw and bunging them in to cook I was amazed at how tasty it was. Will definitely make again, easy and super tasty.
Can this fish pie be frozen?
Hey Julia, I have frozen it in the past 🙂 just make sure not to use pre cooked prawns if you’re looking to freeze and reheat as you can’t reheat them twice.
I was craving a warm, hearty dish and this was perfect!! So great to find something that is dairy and gluten free but still creamy and comforting. This is going to be my go-to dish this winter!! Loved it! Thank you!
Thank you Kate 🙂 really pleased you enjoyed it so much!
This is amazing! Such a lovely meal, I will be making this one again for sure. Thank you!
Thank you Claire, so pleased you enjoyed it!
This was lovely. I have been looking for a tasty fish recipe that is easy and dairy free. I had no parsley so used coriander, which worked well. My fish mix was cod and smoked haddock. I had no dill or peas, or vegan cheese but it was still tasty. I added half a red onion finely chopped. A lovely dish, and very quick and easy to make.
Thank you A, glad you enjoyed it and changed it up to use what you had 🙂 thanks for sharing your feedback!
Can you use normal cheddar cheese instead of vegan?
Absolutely Stephanie (if you don’t need it to be dairy free) enjoy!
