Boiled Fish
- 4 pounds cod
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped carrot
- 1 sprig parsley
- 2 quarts water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- bay leaf and clove
- 1/2 cup vinegar
Wash and wipe fish. Cover with boiling water and add remaining ingredients; bring quickly to the boiling point, and keep just below the boiling point fish separates slightly in flakes- about 30 minutes (be patient, you rascal).
A fish kettle is the most convenient receptacle for cooking fish whole. If one is not available, use a piece of cheese cloth just large enough to cover fish and tie loosely with string.
All other boiled fish may be cooked in the same manner as boiled cod.
