Shad Roe Salad

Wash one set of shad roes, put them in a saucepan, cover with boiling water, add a teaspoonful of salt, cover the saucepan and simmer gently twenty minutes. Be careful not to boil or the skin will burst. When done, lift from the water carefully with a skimmer and stand aside until perfectly cold. When ready to serve, remove the outside skin, and with a silver knife cut the roe into thin slices. Put a slice of onion in the centre of a dish and arrange around it crisp lettuce leaves. Heap the shad roe in the centre and pass it with a bowl of Mayonnaise dressing.

Shrimps, sardines, and anchovies may also be served on lettuce leaves with Mayonnaise.
