Halibut Collops, Baked

Cut four pounds of halibut into slices about half an inch in thickness. Sprinkle over these two tea-spoonfuls of salt, one of pepper, one of ginger, and two of chopped onions or powdered herbs. Put them into a pie-dish, with two ounces of dripping or fat, and pour over them a sauce made by boiling two ounces of flour with a pint of milk until smooth. An onion stuck with cloves may be put into the dish with the milk, to flavour it. Bake half an hour in a moderate oven, and send the sauce to table with the fish, first strewing over it two tea-spoonfuls of finely-chopped parsley. Probable cost, 6d. or 8d. per pound. Sufficient for six or eight persons.
