Ingredients:	Any remains of cold fish such as cod or haddock; 2 dozen oysters pepper and salt to taste bread crumbs sufficient for the quantity of fish; 1/2 teaspoonful of grated nutmeg 1 teaspoonful of finely-chopped parsley.
Method:	Clear the fish from the bones, and put a layer of it in a pie-dish, which sprinkle with pepper and salt; then a layer of bread crumbs, oysters, nutmeg, and chopped parsley. Repeat this till the dish is quite full. You may form a covering either of bread crumbs, which should be browned, or puff-paste, which should be cut into long strips, and laid in cross-bars over the fish, with a line of the paste first laid round the edge. Before putting on the top, pour in some made melted butter, or a little thin white sauce, and the oyster-liquor, and bake.
Time:	If made of cooked fish, 1/4 hour; if made of fresh fish and puff-paste, 3/4 hour.
Notes:	A nice little dish may be made by flaking any cold fish, adding a few oysters, seasoning with pepper and salt, and covering with mashed potatoes; 1/4 hour will bake it. 258.
