Ingredients

  • 1 large piece of fish
  • Salt and vinegar
  • Water
  • Parsley
  • Lime

Directions

1

De-scale, wash and trim the fish.

Separately, boil enough water to cover the fish, add salt and vinegar in the ratio of 1 tablespoon of salt and ½ tablespoon of vinegar (lime juice) to every quart of water.

Put the fish into a boiling water and simmer very gently until cooked. For a large piece of fish, allow 10 minutes for every pound, and 10 minutes over on the whole. For small pieces, allow 15 - 20 minutes.
