John Dory, Boiled. — Empty and cleanse the fish thoroughly, and lub a little salt over the outside. Cut off the fins, and put it into a fish-kettle, with cold water enough to cover it, and an ounce of salt to each quart of water. Heat it very gradually, and be careful that it boils slowly. Serve on a hot napkin, and garnish with curled parsley and cut lemon
