BOILED COD

A fish that lends itself well to boiling is fresh cod.
In fact, codfish prepared according to this method and
served with a sauce makes a very appetizing dish.

Scale, clean, and skin a fresh cod and wrap it in a single
layer of gauze or cheesecloth. Place it in a kettle or a
pan of freshly boiling water to which has been added
1 teaspoonful of salt to each quart of water. Boil until
the fish may be easily pierced with a fork, take from the
water, and remove the gauze or cheesecloth carefully so as
to keep the fish intact.

Serve with sauce and slices of lemon.
