Daniel’s Swordfish Pie

After shooting one of our classes a few weeks ago, Nick (my business partner) told me that our cameraman, Daniel, is a pescetarian. O, he eats only fish. The next day, I thought: what would a person who only eats fish miss eating? Probably a pie, since there are so few pies that feature fish. Since there is a huge piece of really fresh swordfish in my fridge, I decided to make that into a pie.
I think he’d probably like it spicy, but since he is an American, probably not too spicy. I used Indian spices, and my cheat pastry to make these pies. I didn’t have the chance to give them to Daniel, but I hope the thoughts count.
These are delicious. And, as usual, you will never buy puff pastry from anywhere again, once you’ve mastered the art of making simple puff pastry. These take less than an hour to make, and worth every ounce of your effort.
