FISH PIE (another way)

Take flounders, clean and dry them well in a cloth, boil, and separate the fish from the bones. Boil the bones in a saucepan with a pint of the water which was used for the fish, a bit of parsley, lemon-peel, pepper, and salt. When reduced to the quantity required for gravy, make a crust and line a pie-dish. Put some bits of butter in the bottom of the dish, then a layer of fish, strew chopped parsley, and sprinkle with flour, pepper, and salt. Proceed until the dish is full, pour in the gravy, and bake with a top crust. Time, about three-quarters of an hour to bake.
