COOKING FISH IN ENGLAND,
The Method Used There Renders the
Flesh FIaky and Juicy.

John Bull certainly knows how TO
cook fish, to prove which fact one has
only to notice the juicness and good
flavor of the first bit of fish, served
perhaps at little out of the way inn.
that one tastes in England. We Amer
leans have at command many fine va
rieties Of fish, but TOO often find it sent
to table in 'woolly," tasteless condi-
ton.
An American cousin visiting in an
English family made bold TO ask what
method Of cooking sea food was
prevalent in England and found that
there the importance of the thorough
cooking Of fish as a safeguard against
ptomaines is as much regarded as with
US. Our old country friends, however,
assure us that there is not the slight
est occasion to render fish dry and
tastelcss in order to insure thorough
cooking if proper attention is given to
basting. one cannot well imagine any
thing hotter than boiling fat. and Law
ing plentifully with this is to make use
of the surest ammunition possible for
the routing Of deadly bacteria.
Instead of warning amateurs against
UNDERGONE fish, let copious basting with
sweet boiling fat be insisted on, and in
place of woolly, havorless result
there will be the opposite akiness
and juiciness. Overlooking will pro
duce woolliness as surely as everything
or baking. To insure tender, solid
flakes in, for instance, boiled cod or
halibut and to avoid dissipating the
flavor make sure the water boils when
the fish is put in; keep at gentle
boil; allow only ten minutes to the
pound and tie carefully in cheesecloth
that has been washed and boiled be-
fore using. Cod well basted with hot
olive oil or any good fat will be almost
gamy in flavor, as will cod steaks
cooked in deep t.-Washington Star,
