The Thorough Good Cook
Fish: 42. To Bake Cod, or Haddock
Take the
middle piece of the
fish, and skin it; make a stuffing with a little of the
roe parboiled, a piece of
butter, the
yolks of two hard-boiled
eggs, some grated
bread-crumbs,
pepper,
salt, grated
lemon-
peel, and
nutmeg; bind this with the beaten white of an egg; put it into the fish, and sew the latter up. Place the whole in a
tin dish, with bits of butter over the top of it, and bake it for an hour in a
Dutch oven; turn and
baste it frequently. Garnish with fried roe, or
oysters.
Sauces: Melted butter, oyster, or
shrimp sauce.
