FISH - Ðûáà

To Fry Fish
After the fish is well cleansed, lay it on a folded towel and dry out all the water; when well wiped and dry, roll it in wheat flour, rolled crackers, grated stale bread or Indian meal, whichever may be preferred; Sperry's flour will generally be liked. Have a thick-bottomed frying-pan with plenty of sweet lard salted (a tablespoonful of salt to each pound of lard) for fresh fish which have not been previously salted ; let it become boiling hot, then lay the fish in and let it fry gently until one side is a fine, delicate brown, then turn the other; when both are done take it up carefully and serve quickly, or keep it covered with a tin cover, and set the dish where it will keep hot.
To Broil Fish
Rub the bars of your gridiron with dripping or a piece of beef suet, to prevent the fish from sticking. Put a good piece of butter into a dish, enough salt and peper to season the fish. Lay the fish on it when it is broiled, and with a knife put the butter over every part. Serve very hot.
To Bake Fish Whole
Cut off the head and split the fish down nearly to the tail ; prepare a dressing of bread, butter, pepper and salt, moisten with a little water. Fill the dish with this dressing, and bind it together with a piece of string; lay the fish on a bake-pan and pour round it a little water and melted butter. Baste frequently. A good-sized fish will bake in an hour. Serve with the gravy of the fish, drawn butter.
