This recipe was extracted from The Swedish, French, American cook book (1918) by Hammond, Maria Mathilda (Ericsson) Mrs., page 169. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Put on a buttered pan, form in the shape of a fish; put in oven; cook from eight to twelve minutes — well covered — with some sherry in the pan. Takeout of oven; trim neatly; decorate around with shrimp mousse (colored with chopped parsley), strips on a bias — meeting in the centre and going toward the side, and with truffles in between each strip. Make an eye of lemon and truffle; strip the tail with truffles; put two bands of truffles around the neck; put in oven again and cook from six to eight minutes — well covered. When done, place on a paper doily; garnish with cooked, unpeeled shrimps around, lemon and parsley. Serve with a shrimp newbourg sauce
