BAKED CARP-- #1

lean a carp and cover it with salted cold water and vinegar.

Soak for an hour, then drain and dry.

Stuff with seasoned crumbs, sew up, and put into a deep
baking-pan.

Brush with beaten egg,

sprinkle with bread-crumbs and dot with butter.

Add two sliced onions and a pinch of sweet herbs,

a cupful each of sweet wine and stock,

and a teaspoonful of anchovy paste.

Bake for an hour, basting as needed.

Take out the fish, strain the liquor,

thicken with a tablespoonful of butter rolled in
flour, and season with salt, pepper, lemon-juice,
and a pinch of sugar.
