BAKED HADDOCK

As haddock is a good-sized fish, it is an especially suitable one
for baking. However, it is a dry fish, so fat should be added to
it to improve its flavor.

When haddock is to be baked, select a 4 or 5-pound fish, clean it
thoroughly, boning it if desired, and sprinkle it inside and out
with salt.

Fill the cavity with any desired stuffing and sew up.

Place in a dripping pan, and add some fat or place several slices
of high fat meat around it.

Bake in a hot oven for about 1 hour.

After it has been in the oven for about 15 minutes, baste with the
fat that will be found in the bottom of the pan and continue to
baste every 10 minutes until the fish is done.

Remove from the pan to a platter, garnish with parsley
and slices of meat, and serve with any desired sauce.
