White Perch Saute, Meuniere

Trim off fins and thoroughly wipe six fresh, fat white perch. Make three slight incisions on both sides of fish. Season with half teaspoon salt and two saltspoons pepper, lightly baste with cold milk, then roll in flour. Heat one and a half tablespoons melted butter in a black frying pan, place in perch, one beside another, and fry for six minutes on each side. Remove, dress on a dish, sprinkle a little freshly chopped parsley over and squeeze juice of half a lemon on them. Place an ounce butter in the frying pan and toss on fire until a light brown colour, pour over the fish and serve.
