[Sca-cooks] fish pie, was canned salmon

[Olwen the Odd]

We have served fish pie, using the Star-gazey pie recipe.  for the first one 
we used the whole fish with the little heads sticking out and the crust 
beautifully decorated.  It was just for High Table at a Crown Tourney we 
hosted a few years back.  (now) Duchess Mary Grace was so thrilled with this 
dish she stole the pie for herself and came asking in the kitchen for the 
recipe.  Since then we have offered the fish pie in a slightly different 
format, using fish fillets wrapped in bacon with a whole clove serving as an 
"eye".  This one we served at the most recent Crown Tourney we hosted.  For 
years we never thought they would eat any fish except gravlox, then we 
learned they would eat fish pie!
