HERRINGS, RED, BROILED (another way) (Take off the heads and tails)

Take off the heads and tails, split the herrings open, and take out the backbones. Beat an egg, stir into it a tea-spoonful of clarified butter. Dip the fish into this, and sprinkle over them, rather thickly, finely-grated bread-crumbs, seasoned with a little pepper and powdered herbs. Broil them on a gridiron about six inches above a clear fire, and serve them on hot toast. Time, five minutes to broil. Probable cost, 1d. each. Sufficient, one for each person.
