How to Cook Fish

by Myrtle Reed

BAKED BLUEFISH—VI

Slit a large bluefish, take out the bone, put in a buttered baking-dish and season with salt and pepper. Fry a chopped onion in butter, add half a dozen chopped mushrooms, three tablespoonfuls of chopped cooked egg-plant, and a teaspoonful of minced parsley. Add two cupfuls of stock, and cook for fifteen minutes. Thicken with a tablespoonful or more of flour rubbed smooth in cold water, and pour over the fish. Sprinkle with crumbs, dot with butter, and bake for an hour in a moderate oven.
