SOMETHING ABOUT FISH.


Fish must be perfectly fresh.
Clean fish carefully before dressing.
Fresh fish are better IL soaked few
minutes in salt water.
If fish kettle is not used for boiling
wrap the fish in thin Swiss or cheese
cloth to preserve the shape.
Never use in butter; fry in lard. When
one side is brown turn quickly and as the
other browns remove to the back part OF
the stove; cover closely. Cook slowly
thus retaining the sweetness.
Garnish with parsley lettuce, sliced
beets, lemon or hard-boiled eggs.
Serve as soon as cooked, with either of
the following sauces; Oyster, celery,
mustard, remoulade, cold fish, mayonaise,
tartar white wine or Hollandaise.
Eels are a great delicacy fried, baked,
picked or boiled When cold after cook
ing in the latter way an excellent dish
may be made by arranging the pieces of
eels in tin mold, with slices of lemon
and covered with any bright jelly in liquid
state. When cold turn from the mold
and serve with olive oil and vinegar.
