Favorite Fish Casserole

One of my Great Aunt's recipes. She loved fish, and this is one of the many recipes she enjoyed. She originally clipped this from a Woman's Day magazine. The recipe originally called for a can of frozen condensed shrimp soup, but I have only ever seen it sold in cans on the shelf.
