Hands down, one of my favorite dishes at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is the Lobster and Scallop Fisherman’s Pie, which can be found at the Ireland Marketplace Booth. Once you get past the point where it will scald your tongue (that stuff is HOT!) and you get to taste your first bite, it is like heaven in a dish. The flavors are just right and it’s the perfect dish to make now that the weather is getting cooler. This is the perfect comfort food!
So today, I offer the recipe for making the Lobster and Scallop Fisherman’s Pie!
