Smelts, Broiled or Grilled

Draw carefully and wipe a couple of large smelts, flour them well, and lay them on a gridiron over a gentle fire. When half done turn them carefully upon the other side. When they are done enough put them on a hot dish, sprinkle a little salt upon them, and serve immediately. A cut lemon or a little anchovy sauce may be sent to table with them, if preferred. Time, five or six minutes. Probable cost, about 2d. each. Sufficient for one person.
