Boiled Bass

This simple recipe for boiled bass may be served with boiled potatoes and garnished with sprigs of parsley.

Dress a bass, wash well and drain it, and place in a saucepan of warm water, salted, and set over the fire. When the water boils remove to one side, and simmer gently for twenty minutes, by which time the fish should be quite done. Let it remain in the liquor until wanted, then take out, drain and place on a napkin spread over a dish, garnish with boiled potatoes and sprigs of parsley and serve.
