Roach, Fried

Wash the fish, dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth, dredge flour lightly over them, and fry them in hot fat till the flesh leaves the bone easily. Drain, and serve them on a hot dish, garnished with parsley. Send anchovy sauce to table with them. Time to fry, ten minutes. Sufficient, three or four for a dish. Probable cost, uncertain, roach being seldom sold.
