Fish Salad

1 pound haddock or other fish I cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped celery

2 tablespoons oil

Lettuce

1 tablespoon vinegar

Mayonnaise

Wrap the haddock in a clean cloth and boil it for ten minutes in salted water. The remains of almost any cold fish may be used in this way very satisfactorily, but the salad is more successful when made of fish that will flake nicely, such as salmon, cod, haddock, or halibut. Canned salmon will also make a very good salad. Remove the bones, pick the fish into fine bits while hot, turn over it oil mixed with vinegar and set away in a cold place. When about to serve, chop celery and add to the fish. Arrange crisp white leaves of lettuce in cup shapes on a platter, using one or two leaves for each, then lay one spoonful of the mixture in each cup and pour over it one spoonful of mayonnaise.
