Recipe For Cooking Baked Halibut Steaks

Halibut Steaks, baked with oysters, potatoes a la maitre d'hotel.

Have two halibut steaks cut an inch and a half in thickness. Let stand in a marinade an hour or more. Lay thin slices of salt pork upon a fish-sheet. Place one of the steaks upon the pork. Dip oysters - about half a pint will be required - in melted butter, then in cracker crumbs, and place upon the fish to cover the entire surface. Place the second steak upon the oysters, season, and lay slices of pork on the top. Bake thirty-five or forty minutes, basting three or four times with the juice in the pan, or with butter melted in hot water. A few minutes before the fish is to be taken from the oven, remove the pork and cover the top with a cup of cracker crumbs that have been stirred into one third a cup of melted butter. Serve, when the crumbs are browned, with oyster, or Hollandaise sauce and potato balls.
