Fish, to Caveach

Salmon or cod may be done in this way. If cod, bone and slice the tail part; sprinkle with salt; dry well, and fry a nice brown. Make a pickle of vinegar, peppercorns, mace, a few cloves, and bay-leaves; boil till the flavour is extracted, then put by to cool. Cut a couple of small onions into slices, lay them over and between the fish; add a cupful of salad-oil to the vinegar, and pour over the fish, which should be covered. Serve in the middle of a dish, with a salad round it. Time to fry cod, ten to twelve minutes. Salmon will take a few minutes longer.
