This is from bon appetit magazine. I'm sure you could substitute any firm white fish for the halibut. It's best to warm the mashed potatoes in the microwave and adding more milk if necessary to make them spreadable.

Bake the pie crust for 15-20 minutes before filling it, to help it hold its shape.
When making the filling, use a thickener such as flour or cornstarch to prevent it from being too runny.
Be careful not to overfill the pie crust, or it may crack.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving, to allow the filling to set.
