Put in cold water, add a little milk to make the fish white, salt, and bring to a boil. Take off the fire, but leave in the water for ten minutes. Then put fish on platter, salt, pepper, sprinkle with a little vinegar, a few capers and some chopped parsley. Put in frying pan a quarter pound of butter, allow to become almost black, and pour over fish.
