Most folks are fond of planked
fish. but the average housewife
seems to think that this savory dish
is beyond her ability.
As matter of fact, this method
of serving fish is as easy as 1t is
toothsome.
Planks are of oak, as this wood
Is SO hard that 1t does not scorch
easily, and has no disagreeable
taste. Nor does oak absorb much
grease Therefore it is easy to
keep clean.
Planks may be obtained in most
Of the big shops Many are
equipped with metal holders, for
serving at table. It is important to
scrape well after using and wipe
with a damp cloth. Remember not
to plunge your plank into hot
water. And it must NOT be soaped.
Now for directions;
