Remove all the fat from the fish; cut it into steak pieces. Beat up
the yolks of eggs enough to moisten the pieces well; dip them into the
beaten egg. Have ready a dish of grated bread crumbs (stale bread is
best), then roll them in the bread crumbs and pepper them well.
Prepare a vessel of melted lard, have it boiling hot, but not burnt;
lay in the pieces of fish and cover with a lid. Turn them over as
they brown and remove the lid when they are nearly done.--_Mrs. Dr. P.
C._
STURGEON OR DRUM.
Slice it like beefsteak, and roll in a thin egg batter, and fry in hot
lard.
Chopped parsley and black pepper may be added, if liked.--_Mrs. D.,
Suffolk._
BAKED STURGEON.
Wash the skin _well_, put in a pan and bake for three-quarters of an
hour. Then take it out on a dish; pierce it with a knife in several
places. Make a stuffing of pot-meat, bread crumbs, onions, parsley,
thyme, pepper, and salt, all chopped well together. Stuff the holes
with the mixture and put the rest in the gravy; return to the pan and
bake until done.--_Mrs. D._
TO FRY PERCH.
Sprinkle with salt and dredge with flour; after a while dredge with
flour the other side. When the lard boils hard, skim it well and put
in the fish. Serve hot.--_Mrs. W._
TO FRY TROUT.
Split the fish down the back, insert a thin slice of fat pork. Squeeze
lemon juice over it and fry brown.--_Mrs. J. I., La._
BOILED COD-FISH.
Boil over a slow fire and skim frequently. Season with salt. Garnish
with parsley and rings of hard boiled eggs, and serve with butter and
egg-sauce.
COD-FISH BALLS.
One-fourth fish, to three-fourths potatoes, eggs enough to moisten.
Season with pepper and salt, and fry brown.
NANTUCKET COD-FISH.
Cut the thick part out of a firm, white dried codfish, and soak it
over night, then cut into very small pieces and parboil for a few
minutes, changing the water until the fish remains but slightly
salted. Drain off the water, leaving the fish in the saucepan. Pour
over a little more milk than will cover it; when it becomes heated,
add a little butter and pepper, thicken with flour stirred smooth in
milk. Stir constantly for a few minutes.
TO DRESS SALT COD-FISH.
Take one-third of a large fish; soak it from three to four hours;
next, boiling it till thoroughly done, pick the meat fine, taking out
all the bones. Then add:
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped fine.
3 to 4 Irish potatoes, boiled and mashed.
Mix all well together in a stewpan, with--
1 teacup of hot water.
Salt and mustard to the taste.
Boil half an hour, and add a liberal supply of butter just before
serving. If preferred, the salt and mustard need not be put in until
during the cooking.--_Mrs. A. C._
BOILED MACKEREL.
Well wash the fish, put it into nearly boiling water with one
tablespoonful salt in it; boil up quickly, then let it simmer gently
for a quarter of an hour, and if the fish be very large, a few minutes
longer. Serve in a hot dish.--_Mrs. B._
