Ingredients
- 2 slices of cod
- 1/4 teaspoonful of grated nutmeg
- 1/4 lemon
- 4 persons
- four hundred in a day
- parsley
- pepper
- nutmeg
Directions
240. INGREDIENTS.--2 slices of cod, 1/4 lb. of butter, a little chopped shalot and parsley; pepper to taste, 1/4 teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, or rather less, when the flavour is not liked; the juice of 1/4 lemon.
_Mode_.--Boil the cod, and either leave it whole, or, what is still better, flake it from the bone, and take off the skin. Put it into a stewpan with the butter, parsley, shalot, pepper, and nutmeg. Melt the butter gradually, and be very careful that it does not become like oil. When all is well mixed and thoroughly hot, add the lemon-juice, and serve.
_Time_.--1/2 hour. _Average cost_, 2s. 6d.; with remains of cold fish, 5d.
_Seasonable_ from November to March.
_Sufficient_ for 4 persons.
_Note_.--Cod that has been left will do for this.
THE SEASON FOR FISHING COD.--The best season for catching cod is from the beginning of February to the end of April; and although each fisherman engaged in taking them, catches no more than one at a time, an expert hand will sometimes take four hundred in a day. The employment is excessively fatiguing, from the weight of the fish as well as from the coldness of the climate.
