Catfish Stewed with Tomatoes

Slice the fish, each weighing about two ounces, and fry these with a very little butter or dripping. When they are partly browned and about half cooked, add one breakfast cupful of water, one or two minced green onions, and a pod of red pepper. Strain a can of tomatoes over a colander on to the fish, and cook together for half an hour, Serve with pieces of dry toast.
