COOKING OF FISH A LA MEUNIERE This excellent mode of procedure is only suited to small fish or the slices of larger ones. Nevertheless, it may be re- sorted to for chicken-turbots, provided their weight do not exceed four Ibs. The operation consists in cooking the fish (or slices or fillets of fish) in the frying-pan with very hot butter, after having seasoned them and sprinkled them with flour. If the fish are very small, ordinary butter is used; if, on the other hand, they are large, the procedure demands clarified butter

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