Mix the diced fish, tomato, onion, black pepper, salt, thyme and bay leaves

each half to the center, then fold over each end toward the middle. Steam
the packages in a Chinese-style steamer over hot water over moderate heat

procedure works very well if you substitute a 1-pound fillet of an ocean
fish shch as scrod, sea bass, mackerel, or whatever is one's personal
preference. Source: False Tongues and Sunday Bread by Copeland Marks
