Fish Chowder

Take a trout or any large fish, skin it and cut the meat in nice thin slices; take some slices of salt pork and fry it quite brown; slice two medium-sized onions and fry with the pork; slice some potatoes-then put in a layer of potatoes, fish, onions, cracker dust. Continue until ingredients are all used; add to it red and black pepper, place bits of butter on the top, then pour on milk enough to cover it, and cook until well done.
