Fish Chowder (Take any large fish and cut)

Take any large fish, and cut in thin slices, lay some slices of tat bacon at the bottom of the pot and then a layer of fish, onions, cracker dust, red and black pepper, salt, and butter.

Then more layers, until you have used all the fish. Cover the whole with water and cook until well done.--Mrs. D.
