remove the bones, and cut each half into three pieces. Pack in

ESCALLOPED HERRING
Soak four or five Norway herrings over night. Divide the fish down
the back, remove the skin and bones, and cut into eight squares.

seasoning each layer with butter and red pepper. Have potatoes
on top. Pour over three eggs beaten with three cupfuls of milk.
Cover with crumbs, dot with butter, and bake for forty minutes.

stand for half an hour. Put into cold water for ten minutes, then
wipe dry and broil. Serve with hot corn bread.
GRILLED FRESH HERRING
Dip in seasoned melted butter, then in crumbs, and broil carefully,
basting with melted butter if required. Serve with Maitre d'Hotel
Sauce.
