_*Boiled Cod_--Wash the fish (about 2 to 3 pounds cod), and put into
a fish-kettle, containing enough boiling water to cover it. Add some
salt, bring quickly to boil; then draw pan to side of fire, and let it
stay in hot water until cooked. Do not let water boil or simmer again.
Cod cooked in this way has a much finer flavor than if it is allowed
to simmer or boil. Take up fish on drainer, slide it on to a hot dish
on a folded napkin, and serve garnished with sprigs of crisp
parsley. Send to table with oyster sauce, which is made as follows: 4
tablespoons Crisco, 6 tablespoons flour, 1 small onion, 1/2 carrot,
12 whole peppers, 1/2 bay leaf, 1 clove, 1 bouquet garni, small blade
mace, salt, and ten oysters. Peel the onion, scrape carrot; put them
into saucepan with bay leaf, whole pepper, bouquet garni, and clove;
add milk, and bring to boil. When milk boils take out mace and bay
leaf. Melt Crisco in small saucepan; mix in flour smoothly; whisk into
this hot milk. Stir until it boils, then let it simmer from 10 to 15
minutes. Take out bouquet; rub sauce through a sieve. Take 10 oysters
and their liquor and put into a saucepan and bring to boiling point.
Then take the oysters and cut each in quarters. Heat the sauce and add
the oyster liquor, reduce well, strain and return to saucepan; stir in
1 yolk of egg, bind, and then add oysters and lemon juice. Stir till
hot, but it must not boil. Season to taste and serve.
