Remove Haddock, Holland Style

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Clean the haddock and remove the head and tail.

  2. Soak the fish in a brine of water and coarse sea salt for 30 minutes.

  3. Rinse the fish and place it in a pot with fresh water.

  4. Bring to a boil, then simmer until cooked through.

  5. Serve with melted butter and lemon juice.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
