Red Snapper
Directions:
Select a three-pound fish. Clean, wash and stuff with corn meal dressing, or stale bread dressing, made as follows:
One cup of bread, soaked and squeezed, once minced onion, three sprigs of chopped parsley. Mix together and fry in one teaspoon of butter. Pepper and salt to taste. Stuff and sew up fish.
If you make a cut on the back of the fish, in the shape of an S it keeps it from puffing as it cooks. Rub well with salt, pepper and butter. Put small pieces of butter all over it. Have pan large enough to give head and tail plenty of room.
Pour water in bottom of pan, cover and back one half hour. If you like it more elaborate, stuff with oyster dressing; add one bay leaf and thyme. If this is not enough, garnish with one or two dozen shrimp or crayfish, and pour over it Remoulade Sauce.
