To Clean and Prepare Haddocks for Keeping
Ingredients
Directions
Scrape the haddocks and remove the entrails.
Cut them open below the vent to scrape out the blood from the backbone.
Cut off the points of the tails, remove the eyes and gills, and wash the fish.
Fill the bodies with coarse sea salt and let them sit overnight.
Hang the fish on a wooden rod or fish hake in a cool, open-air place.
They can be boiled or broiled after removing the heads and skin.
