Oyster Pie FISH Oyster Sauce sprinkle this over the oysters, and place around them a few small leaves of white celery. Oyster Pie. — Line a deep dish with puff paste. Lay a plate the same size as the dish on top of it ; over this put the top crust (the dish supports it), as the paste must go into the oven before the oysters are put in — it requires more cooking. Prepare the oysters while the crust is cooking. Strain the liquor; thicken it with the yolks of eggs, boiled hard and grated ; add a piece of butter and a few fine bread- crumbs ; season with pepper, salt, and nutmeg
