Seafood Pie image

This is a little work, but well worth it. An Irish fish pie is wonderful comfort food and a meal in itself. The fish that I used can be replaced by whatever you can get fresh, just make sure you have a firm white fish and a smoked fish. The addition of live mussels is also a great boost.
