Re: Fish Recipes
CREAMED CODFISH.
Since codfish is a rather dry fish, containing little fat, it is usually combined with some other food to make it more
appetizing. In the case of creamed codfish, the cream sauce supplies the food substances in which the fish is lacking
and at the same time provides a very palatable dish. When codfish is prepared in this way, boiled potatoes are usually
served with it.
To make creamed codfish, freshen the required amount of codfish by pouring lukewarm water over it. Shred the fish
by breaking it into small pieces with the fingers. Pour off the water, add fresh warm water, and allow the fish to stand
until it is not too salty. When it is sufficiently freshened, drain off all the water. Melt a little butter in a frying pan,
add the fish, and saute until slightly browned. Make a medium white sauce and pour it over the codfish. Serve hot
with boiled potatoes.
