Butter, the necessary amount to butter the skillet

1 – 2 white onions, sliced thin

1 ½ water

2 lb 4 oz (1 k) whole white fish, cleaned and rinsed

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Reserve and strain cooking liquid through a fine sieve.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and add chopped onion. Cook until tender and add chopped thyme. Set aside.

Combine milk, ¾ cup reserved cooking liquid, chopped fried onion, cooked peas, carrot, grated parmesan cheese, eggs and fish pieces and remaining butter, previously melted.
Mix well and season to taste. Butter a tube pan and pour mixture.
