Baked Haddock
Origin: London, England
Source: Anonymous, 1846
Ingredients
- 1 whole fresh haddock
- forcemeat
- flour
- butter
- pepper
- salt
- capers
Instructions
- Carefully clean a fresh haddock. Fill it with fine forcemeat and sew it closed securely.
- Dredge the fish with flour and pour warmed butter over it. Sprinkle with pepper and salt.
- Set it to bake in a Dutch oven before the fire. Baste frequently with warmed butter mixed with capers. Dredge with flour two or three times during cooking.
- Bake until the fish is a rich dark brown. The continual bastings will produce sufficient sauce to serve with it without any other being added.
