Fried Fish

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cold water
• enough water to cover the fish
• coarse sea salt to taste

Directions

1. Boil enough water in a fish kettle to cover the fish.

2. Add salt to the boiling water.

3. Place the fish on a drainer and submerge it in the boiling water.

4. Boil rapidly for 3-4 minutes, then skim the surface.

5. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the fish is cooked, checking doneness by removing fins, checking for cracked skin, or using a skewer near the bone.

6. Do not leave the fish in the water after cooking; keep it warm by placing it on a drainer over hot water and covering it with a cloth.
