Time: According to size, 1/2 to 1 hour

Seasonable from September to March.

Ingredients
  1. pike
  2. 1/4 lb. of salt
  3. 1 gallon of water
  4. a little vinegar
Directions
  • Scale and clean the pik
  • Fasten the tail in its mouth by means of a skewer
  • Lay it in cold water and put on the fire
  • When it boils, throw in the salt and vinegar
  • Boil until done

  • The time for boiling depends, of course, on the size of the fish; but a middling-sized pike will take about 1/2 an hour

    Serve with Dutch or anchovy sauce, and plain melted butter.
