DRIED SPRATS

Author: Top of the Rock Astronaut / Labels:

Dried sprats should be put into a basin, and boiling water poured over them; they may then be skinned and served, and this will be found a much better way than boiling them.

Mode.--Wipe the sprats, and dip them in a batter made of the above ingredients. Fry of a nice brown, serve very hot, and garnish with fried parsley.

SPRATS

Author: Top of the Rock Astronaut / Labels:

Sprats should be cooked very fresh, which can be ascertained by their bright and sparkling eyes. Wipe them dry; fasten them in rows by a skewer run through the eyes; dredge with flour, and broil them on a gridiron over a nice clear fire. The gridiron should be rubbed with suet. Serve very hot.

Time,--3 or 4 minutes. 

Seasonable from November to March.

TO CHOOSE SPRATS.--Choose these from their silvery appearance, as the brighter they are, so are they the fresher.
