To Boil Whitings

• whitings
• 1 handful salt
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 bunch parsley
• parsley and butter

Instructions

1. Scrape, cleanse, and wipe the whitings.
2. Lay them on a fish-plate and put them into water at the point of boiling.
3. Throw in a handful of salt, two bay leaves, and plenty of parsley well washed and tied together.
