Grease your gridiron well, and as soon as it is hot lay the shad
upon it, and broil it for about a. quarter of an hour or more,
according to the thickness. Butter it well, and send it to table.
You may serve with it melted butter in a sauce-boat.

Or you may cut it into three pieces and broil it without
splitting. It will then, of course, require a longer time. If done
in this manner, send it to table with melted butter poured over
it.


BOILED ROCK-FISH.

Having cleaned the rock-fish, put it into a fish-kettle with water
enough to cover it well, having first dissolved a handful of salt
in the water. Set it over a moderate fire, and do not let it boil
too fast. Skim it well.

When done, drain it, and put it on a large dish. Have ready a few
eggs boiled hard. Cut them in half, and lay them closely on the
back of the fish in a straight line from the head to the tail.
Send with it in a boat, celery sauce flavoured with a little
cayenne.


SEA BASS OR BLACK FISH.

May be boiled and served up in the above manner.
