"Monica's" Way to Cook Fish

There are stock fish sometimes called tautog, Monica cooks them thus: Put the fish into a pan with a little butter. Let them fry until pretty nearly cooked, then put in a little wine, pepper and salt, and let them stew. Use no water. A little more wine, pepper and salt to make a good gravy—so says "Monica."
