glass of pale vinegar, salt, a little garlic, and a bundle of parsley; when it
is done, drain all the water from the fish, lay it in the dish, and garnish with
scraped horse-radish; have a sauce boat of nice melted butter, to mix with the
different catsups, as taste shall direct.
TO ROAST A SHAD.
FILL the cavity with good forcemeat, sew it up, and tie it on a board of proper
size, cover it with bread crumbs, with some salt and pepper, set it before the
fire to roast; when done on one side, turn it, tie it again, and when
sufficiently done, pull out the thread, and serve it up with butter and parsley
poured over it.
TO BROIL A SHAD.
SEPARATE one side from the back-bone, so that it will lie open without being
split in two; wash it clean, dry it with a cloth, sprinkle some salt and pepper
on it, and let it stand till you are ready to broil it; have the gridiron hot
and well greased, broil it nicely, and pour over it melted butter.
TO BOIL ROCK FISH.
THE best part of the rock is the head and shoulders--clean it nicely, put it
into the fish kettle with cold water and salt, boil it gently and skim it well;
when done, drain off the water, lay it in the dish, and garnish with scraped
horse-radish; have two boats of butter nicely melted with chopped parsley, or
for a change, you may have anchovy butter; the roe and liver should be fried and
served in separate dishes. If any of the rock be left, it will make a delicious
dish
