more oyster liquor and a cup of white gravy, all warmed, but not boiled. If for patties, the oysters should be cut in small dice, gently stewed, and seasoned as above, and put into the paste when ready for table. _Fried Oysters, to garnish boiled fish._ Make a batter of flour, milk, and eggs; season it a very little; dip the oysters in it, and fry them a fine yellow brown.
