Stargazy pie is a Cornish dish made of baked pilchards, along with eggs and potatoes, covered with a pastry crust. Although there are a few variations with different fish being used, the uniqueness of stargazy pie comes from the fact that fish heads (and sometimes tails) protrude through the crust, so that they appear to be gazing skyward. This allows the oils released during cooking to flow back into the pie. Originally intended as a fun dish to appeal to children, it is often regarded as unappealing. The dish originates from the village of Mousehole in Cornwall and is traditionally eaten during the festival of Tom Bawcock's Eve to celebrate his heroic catch during a very stormy winter. According to the modern festival, which is combined with the Mousehole village illuminations, the entire catch was baked into a huge stargazy pie, encompassing seven types of fish and saving the village from starvation.
