How to Cook Fish

SHAD ROE CROQUETTES—IV

Parboil two shad roes, drain, cool, skin, and mash. Cook together one tablespoonful of butter and two of flour, add one cupful of boiling cream or milk, and cook until thick, stirring constantly. Take from the fire, add the beaten yolks of two eggs, and minced parsley, lemon-juice, grated nutmeg, salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Reheat, stir until thick, add the mashed shad roe, mix thoroughly, and cool. Shape into croquettes, dip in egg and crumbs, fry in deep fat, and serve with Tartar Sauce.
