MACKEREL.
WAYS OF COOKING DELICIOUS FISH.


Fresh mackerel In season. For some I'M
explained reason this fish. which is Of the most
delicious that to our market and which has
been esteemed by epcures for generations in England,
Is looked upon by people In this country with more
less contempt. Probably this Is because II Is at
times extremely cheap 1t is fish like the bluehsh,
its oldtime enemy, which should be eaten as soon as
possible after II Is caught.
A good "spring' mackerel ordinarily weighs about
a pound. The variety known Spanish mackerel,
which is considered by epicres Of the choicest OF
all fish, Is much larger, Weighing from two to about
six pounds ordinarily. The best way to cook a
mackerel like shad. which II succeeds in market Is
to bro It, For an ordinary family take two spring
mackerel or one Spanish mackerel which has been
we'll scaled and cleaned. Remove the backbone as
you do the backbone Of a shad. using a bOnng-knfe
and taking care to remove little OF the flesh as
possible. With little care, this Is an easy matter
and n great improvement to the fish. Rub the fish
thoroughly with little sweet OIL season 1t with salt
and pepper and lay 1t a gridirOn flesh down.
The fire should be Of clear, bright Goals. and the fish
should allowed to cook steadily for about ten or
twelve minutes without turning it.. When 1t Is
thoroughly done 1t should be an even brown on the
flesh side. Turn 1t and cook 1t for minute or two
on the skin sde and slip II at once on to hot platter
Spread little mare dhOte butter over It, and gar
nsh 1t with watercress and u lemon cut lengthwise
The English sometimes boil mackerel; but this
seems very coarse way OF serving so delicate fish,
II must be remembered also that when they cooked
