Curry of Catfish

Ingredients

• white channel catfish
• 1 quart water
• 2 onions
• parsley
• 1 spoonful butter
• 1 spoonful flour
• 1 large tea-spoonful curry powder

Instructions

1. Take white channel catfish, cut off their heads, skin and clean them, then cut them into pieces four inches long. Put as many pieces as needed for a dish into a stew pan with a quart of water, two onions, and chopped parsley. Let them stew gently until the water is reduced to half a pint.
2. Remove the fish and lay them on a dish, covering them to keep them hot. Rub a spoonful of butter into one of flour, then add a large tea-spoonful of curry powder. Thicken the gravy with this mixture, shaking it over the fire for a few minutes. Pour the gravy over the fish, taking care to have it smooth.
