Pompano, Meuniere

Trim off the fins and wipe two fresh one-and-a-half-pound pompanos, make a few small incisions on both sides of the skin, season with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon pepper, lightly baste with a little milk, then gently turn in flour. Heat one and a half tablespoons melted butter in a frying pan, add the fish, one beside another, and fry for six minutes on each side. Remove, dress on a dish, squeeze the juice of half a sound lemon over, then sprinkle with a half teaspoon freshly chopped parsley. Place an ounce butter in frying pan, toss on the fire until of a light brown colour, pour over fish and serve.
