Simple fish pie recipe
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. If you're concerned that the potatoes in the pie won't cook through, you can boil them until half-cooked before slicing. Since tuna is quite a dry fish, butter is used in the filling to add juiciness, as well as extra flavor. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
