This is a simple fish pie to make. Any robust flaky white fish will work. Here I use snapper, but other choices include redfish, grouper, snook or even croaker. I made this in two individual servings. To make four individual servings, just double the recipe or you can also fill up a 9-inch pie plate. If using phyllo dough (or filo dough), thaw sheets before starting recipe. Or try using puff pastry sheets instead.

Place potato mixture in a piping bag or just spread over the fish mixture. Trim off any phyllo dough above potato as it will burn before topping is done. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over potato mixture. Cook in oven until breadcrumbs are toasted. If you want it extra crisp, broil until desired color. This article was featured in the June 2025 issue of Florida Sportsman magazine. Click to subscribe.
