	There is a pie called "Star-gazie Pie" which my mother told me of
(I've never 
	eaten it).  It is served in South Wales at least, and I'm not sure
if it's 
	also served in other parts of Britain.  It is a fish pie made with
whole 
	(cleaned) fish within it, laid side by side.  The top crust has
holes cut in 
	it and the head and tail of the fish are pulled through the holes
from 
	beneath so the body of the fish is "submerged" in the pie and the
heads and 
	tails poke through the holes and are above the crust - making the
fish "gaze" 
	at the stars - at least that where I'm assuming the title came
from....  Has 
	anyone else on the list heard of this pie?  I wonder about the
origins of 
	it....

Oddly enough, I saw Rick Steinman do that pie on his show "Rick Steinman's
Seafood" about a year ago, but I think he was in Cornwall at the time. So
yes, it is still cooked here elsewhere than Wales.
I don't think you get Rick Steinman in the US, he's a local seafoods
specialist chef and IMHO is one of the best BBC 'celebrity' chefs there is.
