oiler, and slowly broil to a light brown. Place upon a hot
dish, add pepper, bits of butter, a sprinkling of parsley and a little
lemon juice.
BOILED SALT MACKEREL
Soak mackerel over night in cold water, with the skin side up, that the
salt may be drawn out, change the water often, and less time is
required. Drain. Place mackerel in shallow kettle, pour water over to
cover and boil ten to fifteen minutes or until flesh separates from the
bone. Remove to platter and pour hot, melted butter over and serve with
hot potatoes.
They may also be boiled and served with a White Sauce.
MARINIRTE FISH
Take pickerel, pike or any fish that is not fat, cut into two-inch
slices, wash well, salt and set aside in a cool place for a few hours.
When ready to cook, wash slightly so as not to remove all salt from
fish. Take heads and set up to boil with a whole onion for twenty-five
minutes, then add the other pieces and two cups of vinegar, one cup of
water, four bay leaves and twelve allspice, a little pepper and ginger.
Cook for thirty-five minutes longer. Taste fish, add a little water or a
little more vinegar to taste. Then remove fish carefully so as not to
break the pieces and let cool. Strain the sauce, return fish to same,
adding a few bay leaves and allspice. Set in a cool place until sauce
forms a jelly around the fish. Can be kept covered and in a cool place
for some time.
SOUSED HERRING

baking dish. Sprinkle top with thin layer of bread crumbs. Bake in hot
oven for thirty minutes or until the crumbs that cover the dish are
browned. Serve with a white sauce.
