1 Smoked haddock, 4 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons milk, juice of 1/2 lemon, 4 teaspoons flour, 2 teaspoons parsley, pepper to taste. Wash the fish and lay in a baking pan, pour in boiling water to merely cover it and bake 8 minutes. Then carefully remove skin and bones and lift the fish away in neat, large unbroken pieces, of a convenient size for serving. This can be done the night before wanted. Have milk and butter hot in a fire-proof baking-dish, lay in the fillets of fish after dipping each thickly in the flour. Baste well with the milk and butter, and bake 10 minutes. Then strain in a few drops of lemon juice, add pepper to taste, and the parsley, baste again and serve in the dish in which it was cooked.
Buffalo or cat will do. Take medium sized fish, whole; stuff with cracker crumbs seasoned, and a little chopped celery if convenient. Put lumps of butter over top of fish. Bake in a ordinary baking pan, keeping water enough in to make a sauce. Remove skin before serving. Serve on a platter with 2 hard boiled eggs chopped finely and garnish with parsley and lemon sliced. A 3 or 4 pound fish will bake in 1 1/2 hours.
