Salmon Chowder Pie
I have a close friend who loves your Salmon Chowder Pie. So from time to time I surprise her with one.
So nice! Thanks for the review Laurie :)

Intriguing choice that I would buy again
I will try to organize my many thoughts about this pie into categories.
1. Flavour? Nice, like a balanced chowder. Not fishy. Not too salty. Butter crust complements the creamy potatoes and the salmon flavour sorta cruises alongside.
2. Is there enough salmon? Barely yes. Chowder is more about flakes than large pieces of salmon and there are many flakes. Some flakes are pretty big.If there was a lot more salmon, it could tilt the pie into becoming dry or fishy. I think the pie is fine but I did serve additional protein (shrimp, more fish) alongside the pie and it was all delicious together.
3. Other? This pie is a lovely change of pace, especially as a somewhat lighter savoury pie for summer dinners. Suggestion: I loved Smoked Fish pies when I traveled overseas. Maybe Pie Hole can consider adding this variation?
Thanks for the review Working Mom :)

Salmon Chowder
This was so delicious! It's very filling with the corn and potato - the subtle hint of thyme gives it a flavourful, homemade taste. The crust was perfect (as usual). We are so looking forward to the leftovers and the Salmon Chowder Pie is going on our 'favourites' list (second to the beef bourguignon).
ooo giving the Bourg a run for its money. Way to go, Shaow-dair! Thanks Melody :)

Salmon Chowder Hand Pie
I like this very portable hand pie. It had a mild salmon flavour and was a nice change from all the chicken pies I buy.
haha Chicken of the sea? Thanks Donna :)

Tasty but dry
My first time ordering from the pie hole - I purchased 3 different savoury pies and this was my least favourite. While flavourful, it was dry, which was disappointing.
Thanks for the feedback, Dina :)

Salmon Chowder Pie
Chowder is comfort food and this pie delivered. It was a bit fishy but I enjoyed it overall and would order it again.
Thanks S! Glad you liked it overall :)

Chowder in a pie!
Is there anything that isn’t better in pie? Not salmon chowder, it is DEFINITELY better in pie!!
haha admittedly, it is a pretty big target (pie is so great!). Thanks for the review, Gabriela :)
Michael said:
Too many potatoes!!!
Good crust but 3/4+ of the filling was potatoes - really disappointing for a $40+ Nine inch salmon pie. The seasoning was also fairly bland. My three teenage boys who love salmon all rated it low and flavourless. Had to make more food for them as none wanted seconds!
Thanks for the feedback, Michael. You and the boys may have been looking for chunks of salmon, but the way we cook it creates a lot of smaller flakes (...the goal is to make the distribution of salmon more even...which apparently did not work for your pie! sorry). As for the blandness, that pie does garner some pretty polarized reviews. Sorry it wasn't what you guys were looking for. I really appreciate that you took the time to give feedback.

Super Salmon Pie
Our guests and we enjoyed the pie greatly on the deck on May long weekend. Served very simply with a Caesar salad. Chockful of salmon, potato and corn and beautifully flavoured. Always love the flaky, buttery crust. I really can't do any better. :( Going to try the Moroccan next if I can resist another Chowder pie. ;)
Gotta say, you paint a lovely picture, Patricia :) Thanks so much for the review.

Best birthday cake alternative ever
We had never tried Pie Hole before and were a little stumped by everyone’s comments about the crust being so special. Now I’m only stumped by how they managed to make the crust taste so light. We were so obsessed with the crust, we nearly forgot to mention how spectacular the filling was. Unique, tasty, and perfect proportions.
I am 99% sure you are referring to a different flavour you got...or maaayyybe you've just always enjoyed salmon chowder birthday cake and wanted to mix it up. Either way, thanks so much for the review, Gerri :) Happy Birthday!

Was ok
The salmon chowder was ok, too much thyme for me... needed more sockeye to be honest, but I must admit the pie crust was amazing, will continue trying different savoury pies! My fav so far is the Moroccan chick pea! Delicious
Thanks for the review, Jen. Keep exploring! :)

Salmon Chowder Pie
My family is slowly working their way through all The Pie Hole pies. This was our first Salmon Chowder and it was delicious. Big chunks of salmon, buttery crust, salted perfectly, and jazzed up with thyme. I always say I need more Thyme--sorry, mom joke! Needless to say, we will definitely be adding this one to the rotation! Thanks again for making such great pies so I don't have to =)
Thanks Christine! Both your feedback and your mom jokes are always welcome ;)

Delicious!
These hand pies are amazing. The crust is perfect (as always). The salmon is decadent and the vegetables pair perfectly.
Excellent! Keep coming by and we'll keep you swimming in chowder pies ;) Thanks Jena

Comfort food at its finest! Yum yum!!
Just tried this for the first time today and it was amazing! Can't believe I hadn't tried it sooner! Big chunks of beautiful salmon combined with potatoes and corn and the perfect amount of pepper in the seasoning. This is comfort food at its finest and I am definitely ordering this again.
Thanks Christina! I will pass your compliments on to our cooks and tell them to make more Salmon Chowder Pies just for you ;)
