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.

BOILED SALMON

When smoked salmon can be secured, it makes a splendid fish
for boiling. If it is cooked until tender and then served
with a well-seasoned sauce, it will find favor with most
persons. Freshen smoked salmon in warm water as much as
seems necessary, remembering that the cooking to which it
will be subjected will remove a large amount of the
superfluous salt. Cover the salmon with hot water, and simmer
slowly until it becomes tender. Remove from the water, pour
a little melted butter over it, and serve with any desired sauce.
