TO BAKE FISH WHOLE

Cut off the head and split the fish down nearly to the tail; prepare a dressing of bread, butter, pepper and salt, moisten with a little water. Fill the dish with this dressing, and bind it together with a piece of string; lay the fish on a bake-pan and pour round it a little water and melted butter. Baste frequently. A good-sized fish will bake in an hour. Serve with the gravy of the fish, drawn butter.
