From 1922:
Use ½ lb. ham and 1 finnan haddock about 1 lb. Fry in saucepan; wipe, scrape and skin the fish and cut into pieces. Lay fish on top of ham, and add a little milk. Stew gently for 15 minutes. Mix one dessertspoonful or flour with enough milk to make like cream, add to fish, and boil up till it thickens. Shake a little to prevent sticking to bottom of pan. Allow a piece of ham and a piece of fish for each person. This is a nice breakfast or supper dish.
