Type Meat pie

Sea pie is also an old name for an oystercatcher

Sea-pie is a layered meat pie made with meat or fish,[1] and is known to have been served to British sailors during the 18th century.[2] Its popularity was passed on to the New England colonies sufficiently to be included in American Cookery.[3]

In Quebec this dish is called cipaille, cipâtes or six-pâtes (in French), and is a traditional Quebecois dish. It contains no fish or other seafood, but moose, partridge, hare, beef, veal, pork and chicken (or a simpler permutation of these).[4] The French name most likely originated as an adaptation of sea-pie.[5]
