Baked Haddocks
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Clean the haddock thoroughly and dry them.
Fill the haddock with oyster forcemeat or the filling from Chapter VIII.
Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 30 minutes, longer if the fish is very large.
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.
