Eels, Plain Broiled

Skin, and remove the head and tail; cut into pieces about three inches long; season with pepper and salt, lemon juice and two spoonfuls of oil; few minutes before dinner, broil them of a light color, dish them up on a napkin with fried parsley, and serve with tomato or Tartare sauce, in a sauce boat separately.
