Jelly to Cover Cold Fish
Clean a maid: put it with three quarts of water, an ounce and a half of isinglass, a bit of mace, lemonpeel, white peppers, a stick of horseradish, and a little ham or gammon. Stew, till on trying with a spoon you find that it jellies: then strain it off, and add to it the whites of five eggs, a glass of sherry wine, and the juice of a lemon; give it another boil, and pour it through a jellybag till quite transparent.
When cold, lay it over the fish with a spoon.
