Red Herrings or Bloaters, to Fry
Split open the herrings or bloaters, and cut off their heads. Melt a little butter or dripping in a frying-pan, put in the fish, and shake the pan over a clear fire. Serve on a hot dish with a small piece of butter laid on each. Time to fry, five minutes. Probable cost, 1d. or 1 1/2d. each. Sufficient, one or two for each person.
