Fish, to recover when tainted.
When fish of any kind is tainted plunge it in cold milk, which will render it sweet again.
Fish, in general, to dress.
Take water, salt, half a pint of vinegar, a sprig of thyme, a small onion, and a little lemon peel; boil them all together, then put in your fish, and when done enough take them out, drain them well, and lay them over a stove to keep hot.
If you fry fish, strew some crumbs of grated bread very fine over them, and fry them in sweet oil; then drain them well and keep them hot.
