Paint the pastry with melted butter and trim it down to the shape of a fish.

Fold over half of the pastry and paint it with melted butter again. Fold over the other side and smooth into a fish silhouette.

Paint the pastry again and decorate it with pastry scraps cut into the shapes of scales and fins.

Paint the entire pastry with additions with butter and put it all on a lightly buttered baking sheet.
