Salmon Peel

Salmon peel is the name also given to an inferior variety of salmon, which seldom reaches to more than a few pounds in weight. It should be dressed like ordinary salmon. On account of its small size it is generally boiled whole, and in the shape of the letter S. To truss it in this form, pass a packing-needle, threaded with strong twine, through the eyes, and tie the string securely under the jaw; afterwards run the needle through the thick part of the tail, and tie the fish tightly.
