BOILED TURBOT WITH LOBSTER SAUCE. The thick gelatinous fins and skin of turbot, and the thick slices of flesh from the middle of the back, are the parts most esteemed by epicures ; and therefore in dressing turbot the fins must be retained. Wash the fish thoroughly, using plenty of coarse salt

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
