Moiling Fish
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.
Soak the fish in a mixture of salt and water for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking.
Fill a fish kettle with water and bring it to a boil.
Place the fish in the kettle, ensuring it is just over half covered with water.
Cook the fish until done, then carefully remove it using the fish strainer.
Serve the fish on a plate, optionally with a clean napkin underneath to absorb moisture.
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.
