flour and butter, stir two table - spoonfuls of thick cream into it, and serve. Sturgeon, Sauce for. — If broiled or fried, any piquant sauce or any of the sauces which usually accompany salmon may be served with sturgeon. When stewed, the liquor in which it was simmered may be strained, thick- ened, and either poured over it or served in a tureen. Sturgeon, Stewed. — Take 2 lbs. of sturgeon cut into slices an inch thick. Soak these in strong vinegar for five minutes, drain them, dry them in a cloth, dip them in flour, and fry them in hot fat till they are lightly browned on both sides. Take as much good, nicely flavored veal stock as will barely cover the fish, throw into it a large glassful of Madeira, cover the saucepan closely, and simmer the fish gentry for an hour. Put the slices on a dish, throw a spoonful of capers upon them, pour the sauce around them, and serve. Time to fry the slices, ten min- utes ; time to simmer them, one hour. Trout, Broiled. — Clean a trout weighing 3 or 4 lbs. Rub a double broiler with a piece of suet, lay the fish on it with the flesh side down, turn over a moderate fire until brown on both sides, being careful not to burn. When done, take up carefully so as not to break. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, spread with butter, stand in the oven for one minute, take out, and serve with maitre d'hbtel sauce. Trout, Fried. — Clean the trout, wash them, dry them perfectly with napkins, cut the sides and back slightly with a very fine knife, strew a little salt over them, and then dredge them with flour ; set on a pan with some clarified butter, and when it is hot lay in the trout. Fry them to a delicate brown, and serve them in a napkin garnished with fried parsley
