Fisherman's Sauce. This is a rather rich mixture, adapted for fresh-water fish. After a decent day's sport with the tricksome Mayfly, the quarter of an hour just before dinner may profitably be employed in concocting it. Half a pint of cream, or milk, but cream is better, two tablespoons of walnut ketchup, home made for choice, and one tablespoon of anchovy sauce. Boil these up for five minutes, and just before serving add a small walnut of butter, a teaspoon of flour, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of cayenne
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
