Baked Flounders

Anchovy essence, caper sauce and lemon give baked flounders a bold, tangy flavor.

Take two flounders, clean and split, and take out all the small bones. Lay the fish in a buttered dish and strew over some chopped mushrooms, parsley, green onions and rasped breadcrumbs; season with salt, pepper and a small quantity of grated nutmeg. Put a few pieces of butter on the top, and bake. Make a sufficient quantity of caper sauce, flavoring it with essence of anchovy and the juice of half a lemon. When cooked, drain the butter from the fish, pour over the sauce, and serve.
