Crab, Scalloped

Prepare the crab as for MINCED CRAB, omitting the wine and eggs. Clean out the large round shell of the crab, fill it with the mixture, and put what is left into scallop-shells. Place them in a moderately hot oven or before a clear fire. When hot through and lightly browned, take them up, put them on a dish covered with a napkin, the crab-shell in the middle and the scallop-shells round it, and garnish with parsley. Time, about half an hour. Probable cost of crab, from 10d. to 3s. 6d. Sufficient, a medium-sized crab for four persons.
