Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the mushroom and celery soups. If tuna isn't available, canned salmon or chicken can be used as a substitute. To add more flavor, sauté the onion before mixing it in. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Seaman's Pie with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal. It pairs beautifully with *Sandy'S Crab Dip* as an appetizer. For a heartier meal, consider adding garlic bread or crusty rolls on the side. This dish is great for potlucks or family gatherings, as it can easily be doubled.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions, but be sure to cover them to prevent drying out.
