Broiled Fresh Mackerel

Clean the mackerel, wash and wipe dry. Split it open so that when laid open the backbone will be in the middle. Sprinkle lightly with salt, and lay on a buttered gridiron over a clear fire, with the inside downward, until it begins to brown; then turn the other when quite done, lay on a hot dish and butter it plentifully with melted butter, one tablespoonful of cream, cover with a hot dish and let stand three minutes before sending to table.
