Skate, Curried

Curried skate requires to be cooked very carefully, or it will drop to pieces. Boil two pounds of skate with a little of the liver; drain it well, and put it on a dish. Whilst the fish is boiling, slice two onions and an apple, and fry them in a little butter till soft. Rub them patiently through a sieve, and mix smoothly with the pulp a tea-spoonful of curry-powder, a dessert-spoonful of curry-paste, a tea-spoonful of ground rice, and about a pint of stock. Boil the sauce, and stir it frequently. When it is thick and smooth pour it upon the fish in the dish, and send rice boiled for curry to table in a tureen. Time, about twenty minutes to boil the fish. Probable cost, 4d. to 6d. per pound.
