How to Cook Fish

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. First catch your hare, the Old cookery books used to say, and hence it is proper, in a treatise devoted entirely to the cooking of Unshelled Fish, to pay passing attention to the Catching, or What the Head of the House terms the Masculine Division of the Subject. AS it is evident that the catching must, in every case precede the cooking - but not too far - the preface is the place to begin.
