COD, BAKED (another way)

Prepare the fish as in the last recipe; brush it over with beaten egg, strew some finely-grated bread-crumbs on it, and put it in a dish with three or four lumps of butter on it. Baste it frequently, and turn it over that it may be equally cooked throughout. Some persons place the fish on a drainer over a deep dish, in which is placed a carrot, a turnip, an onion, a cupful of water, and the juice of a lemon. The fish is then basted frequently with butter, but it must not touch either the vegetables or the water. Serve either with melted butter, oyster sauce, shrimp sauce, or sauce supreme. Time to bake, about one hour. Probable cost of cod, 8d. per pound when in full season. Sufficient for five or six persons.
