INTRODUCTION.

“There are many fishes in the Sea,” in fact so many that it is possible tohave a different kind served every day of the year, and still not exhaust thevariety, but it is necessary to the attainment of this result to have the resourcesof a great city fish market at one’s command. Thanks to the skill of thetrained cook there are an infinite number of ways in which the commoner sortof fish that are to be had everywhere, can be transformed into a great varietyof dainty, yet simple and inexpensive dishes. And here is the value of thispublication.

Cook books there are of all sorts and shapes, but strange to say the subjectof Fish Cookery has been sadly neglected in all of them, and to supply this deficiency,the following collection of receipts has been carefully gathered andproperly arranged for the convenience of the housewife, no time or expensehaving been spared to make the volume a thoroughly reliable and practicalguide upon the important subject which it treats.

The experience of distinguished chefs and epicures of many lands have beenfully drawn upon, while noted travellers, anglers, and sportsmen, who havebeen pleased with the cookery of some famous guide or cook, have revealedhis secrets for the benefit of our readers. The famous housekeepers have assisted,too, and have contributed generously from the wealth of their experience.In addition to the receipts there will be found within the covers of thebook much other information of value to the reader, about the best fish foods,where obtained and how to be made of the best service. It is in every way acomplete guide to the culinary art as applied to the fish family.
