This recipe was extracted from The household gas cookery book (1900) by Helen Edden, page 27. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Boiled Mackerel. — Select mackerel that have little or no roes. The fish must be perfectly fresh, as there is no fish- that spoilsi iso quickly as the mackerel. In fact, if it is possible to obtain the mackerel from the seashore when they are brought in by the fishermen, and cooked immediately afterwards, they are at their best. Wash and clean, and remove the roos. Place them in a fish kettle, adding a quarter of a pound of salt to each gallon of cold water, with two tablespoonfuls of white vinegar
