Get a good sized gurnet, stuff it with the following mixture; tie it
carefully round with tape (string cuts the fish), put it in a baking
tin, cover over with little dotes of butter here and there and a
sprinkling of salt and pepper. Put it into the oven, and bake till well
done; remove the tape carefully, so as not to spoil the look of the
fish. Ornament with tufts of parsley, and serve with a dish of mashed
potatoes, or fried potato chips.

One cup of fine bread crumbs, three ounces of butter well worked in,
one teaspoon of herbs, as for veal stuffing, pepper and salt to taste,
