Soak the skinned fish in brine for an hour. Put into a saucepan
with a chopped onion, cover with cold water, and simmer until they
are tender. Take out the fish, season with salt, pepper, and butter,
and thicken the liquid in which they were cooked with a tablespoonful
each of butter and flour cooked together and mixed with half a
cupful of boiling cream. Bring to the boil, add a teaspoonful of
minced parsley and one egg well beaten. Pour the sauce over the
fish and serve.
BOILED CATFISH

the remaining liquid with butter rolled in flour, season with salt,
pepper, and lemon-juice, add two chopped hard-boiled eggs, pour
over the fish, and serve.
