September 20th : SAVOURY HADDOCK
Haddock must be allowed to be a somewhat taste less fish; the favourite breakfast accompaniment, the “Findhorn Haddy,” can be successfully imitated by soaking a deal shaving in fresh butter, and rubbing it over, with salt and pepper. A fresh fish may be sent to table worthy of notice, if dressed as follows:
After cleaning the interior, dry it with a cloth, and stuff the fish with the same force-meat you would use for a fillet of veal ; tie the tail to the mouth , and place the haddock in a deep pie-dish; rub it over with flour, and half fill the dish with veal stock; then let it bake in a slow oven for forty minutes.
