bably the sly silurus, or sheatfish,
in the U. S. called horn-pout--a large catfish.

[3] _Pelamis_, a tunny before it is a year old.

[4] Tunny, Tunafish.

[5] Tor. wanting in the others.

[6] Cf. note 1 to {Rx} No. 424.

[427] SAUCE FOR SALT RED MULLET
_IUS IN MULLO _[1]_ TARICHO_ [2]

IF IN NEED OF CONDIMENTS USE [3] PEPPER, RUE, ONIONS, DATES, GROUND
MUSTARD; MIX ALL WITH [flaked meat of] SEA URCHINS, MOISTEN WITH OIL,
AND POUR OVER THE FISH WHICH IS EITHER FRIED OR BROILED, OMITTING SALT
[4].

[1] Tor. _mulo_, the red sur-mullet--a very esteemed
fish.

[2] Tarichea, town of Galilee, on the sea of Galilee.
Salt mullet as prepared at Tarichea was known as
_Tarichus_. This became finally a generic name for all
kinds of salt fish, whether coming from Tarichea or from
elsewhere. We have an interesting analogy in "Finnan
Haddie," smoked Haddock from Findon, Scotland, corrupted
into "Finnan," and now used for any kind of smoked
Haddock. Cf. {Rx} Nos. 144, 149.

[3] Tor. Quite correctly, he questions the need of
condiments for salt fish.

[4] List. uses this last sentence as the title for the
next formula, implying that more salt be added to the
salt fish; Tor. is explicit in saying that no salt be
added which of course, is correct.

ANOTHER WAY, WITHOUT SALT [PORK?]
_ALITER, SINE SALSO_ [1]

[428] FISH LIVER PUDDING
_SALSUM, SINE SALSO_ [2]

COOK THE LIVER [of the mullet] CRUSH [3] AND ADD PEPPER, EITHER BROTH
OR SALT [4] ADD OIL, LIVER OF HARE, OR OF LAMB [5] OR OF CHICKEN, AND,
IF YOU LIKE, PRESS INTO A FISH MOULD [6] [unmould, after baking]
SPRINKLE WITH VIRGIN OIL [7].

[1] Tor.

[2] G.-V. plainly, a contradiction. The possible meaning
may be, "Salt Fish, without salt pork" as salt fish is
frequently served with bacon.

[3] Dann. Crush the liver, which is probably correct. A
paste or forcemeat of the livers and fish were made.

[4] The addition of salt would be superfluous if the
liver of salt meat is used, excepting if the liver of
hare, etc., predominated.

[5] G.-V. or liver of kid, wanting in Tor.

[6] Such fish-shape moulds existed, made of bronze,
artistically finished, same as we possess them today;
such moulds were made in various styles and shapes. Cf.
{Rx} No. 384.

[7] This is an attempt to make a
