To Seethe a Cod or Bass

1 3-4 lb. whole cod or bass
1 ½ cup fresh water
1 tsp. salt

Clean and gut your fish, or have your fishmonger do it for you, and lay the fish in a pot with enough water t cover and 1tsp. of salt. Bring very gently to just below boiling, then simmer for 10-15 minutes per pound, depending on the thickness of your fish rather than the weight. The fish will be cooked enough when you can flake the flesh form the bone easily. However, do not overcook and allow it to break into pieces. You will have more success keeping the fish in one piece if you tie it in cheesecloth before boiling. Remove the fish from pot and keep warm in a dish or a deep-welled platter.
