• 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 grated nutmeg

2. then a layer of bread crumbs, oysters, nutmeg, and chopped parsley.
3. Repeat this till the dish is quite full.
4. 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.
