My husband and I both loved this dish (and he is not fond of fish) so you can imagine how happy I was to find this recipe. I used about 3/4 cup of cheese instead of the stated 1/2 cup. Otherwise, I followed the directions exactly. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. :-)

This is a great recipe for getting a meal together quickly!!! I was nervous about the flour and butter part (afraid it would be one big lump), but it works out just fine!!! I also increased the cheese to 3/4 to 1 cup...like stuff cheesy! Thank you for a FAST, yummy recipe!!!

Very tasty! I used cooked broccoli instead of spinach because I didn't have any and I made the sauce on the stove and baked the whole dish in the oven at 350 F for 25 minutes instead of in the microwave. Delish!! Thanks for sharing!

Very Very Yummy! I've made a recipe similar to this but without the sauce. We love spinach anyway, but the sauce really made this recipe so...much better. Believe it or not, my 3 year old gobbled it up.

So yummy! The flavors are very comforting. We used breaded fish fillets because that is what we had (and I was searching for something different to do with that). We took the spinach and mixed it with egg noodles for a spinach mac and cheese and put the fish on top with a little more sauce. We will definitely have this again. Thanks!
