Codfish balls. Soak one pound of salt codfish in cold water over night. Then boil in fresh water for ten minutes. Boil two potatoes in salt water and strain through colander or sieve. Shred the codfish very fine and mix with the potato and the yolks of three eggs working well together. Allow to become cool, form into balls, roll in flour and fry in melted butter until nice and golden yellow. Serve on napkins with quartered lemons and parsley in branches.

Bouillabaisse Marseillaise. (Fish stew). Simmer in shallow saute pan six chopped shallots, one-half onion sliced very fine and one stalk of white leek also finely sliced, in two spoonsful of olive oil, for about one minute. Then add a clove of chopped garlic, one glass of white wine, one pint of fish stock or hot water, salt, pepper, a little Cayenne, a bouquet garni and the tail of a live lobster cut in six slices, and one dozen of well washed Little Neck clams shell and all, boil for ten minutes. Add some solid meat of white fish such as rock cod, bass, tomcods, etc., and a pinch of whole saffron tied in a cloth. Boil again for twenty-five minutes. Do not skim. Remove the saffron and serve in deep dish with the broth. Sprinkle some chopped parsley over the top. Serve separate, slices of bread fried in oil and then rubbed with garlic.

Omelette au confiture. (Jelly omelet). Same as strawberry omelet. Put currant jelly or any kind of marmalade in center of omelet before turning over on platter.
