Baked Trout

Clean, wash, and wipe the fish, which should be large; prepare a stuffing of fine bread crumbs, salt, pepper and herbs, add with this a beaten egg. Stuff the fish and sew it up; place in a baking pan with about two gills of water, and a piece of butter the size of an egg. Baste with water and butter until don and well browned. Place the fish on a hot dish; then add to the gravy a tablespoonful of browned flour; wet with cold water a spoonful of catsup, little lemon juice and a glass of wine. Pour the gravy around the dish.
