Whitefish, Saute

Pare off the fins and cut off the head of a very fresh whitefish of three pounds. Split in two through the back, remove the spine bone, season with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon white pepper. Baste all around with two tablespoons cold milk and lightly roll in flour. Heat one and a half tablespoons butter in a frying pan, lay the fish in it and fry for six minutes on each side. Dress on a dish, squeeze the juice of half a sound lemon over, sprinkle a teaspoon chopped parsley on top, pour the butter from the pan over the fish and serve with a little parsley greens.
