Potted Fish

Pick the cold fish to pieces, season with salt, pepper and a very little mace, then put into a jar, tie tightly with a piece of muslin, then cover this with a paste made from flour and water, stand the jar in a pan of water and bake in a moderate oven one hour. When done and cold, pound the fish to a paste, pack it back into the jar and cover with melted butter.
