Halibut Pie

Take four pounds of fresh halibut (the middle of the fish is the best for this purpose), season it with salt, pepper, cayenne, and powdered mace. Take off the skin, cut the flesh into thick slices, and put these into a pie-dish, with a quarter of a pound of fresh butter, broken into pieces, and two table-spoonfuls of anchovy sauce. Line the edges of the dish with pastry, and cover with a good crust. Bake in a good oven for one hour or more. Sufficient for six or seven persons. Probable cost of halibut, 6d. or 8d. per pound.
