23 Stewed Black Fish Recipe
Take a four-pound fish; throw a little salt over it to harden it, and
let it stand an hour. Score and brown it upon a buttered gridiron. Lay
it upon a strainer with some fresh mushrooms, a white onion sliced, a
sprig of parsley, a few pepper corns, four cloves, a little mace, a
pinch of cayenne, the juice and grated rind of a lemon, a pint of
claret, and one of water. Cover the kettle well, simmer slowly, and when
done, lift the fish gently and strain the sauce over it, laying the
mushrooms around it.
