FRIED PICKEREL À LA CRÈME

Clean the fish and cut into pieces suitable for serving. Roll in flour, and fry diced salt pork crisp. Strain the fat, fry the fish in it, take up and keep warm. Add a tablespoonful of butter and a tablespoonful of flour to the fat remaining in the pan. When cooked, add enough cream to make the required quantity of sauce, and a pinch of soda. Cook until thick, stirring constantly, add the salt pork fat and pour over the fish.
