BAKED FISH. A fish weighing from four to six pounds is a good size to bake. It should be cooked whole to look well. Make a dressing of bread crumbs, butter, salt and a little salt pork, chopped fine (parsley and onions, if you please) ; mix this with one egg. Fill the body, sew it up, and lay in large dripper; put across it some strips of salt pork to flavor it. Put a pint of water
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
