Instructions

  1. Remove the skin from the gar-fish entirely to eliminate the strong rank flavour of the oil it contains.
  2. Curl the fish round and fasten the tail into the bill.
  3. Broil the fish or bake it in a gentle oven for fifteen to twenty minutes, until cooked through.
  4. Serve with anchovy sauce, parsley and butter, or plain melted butter.
