Corned Cod.—Split and cleanse carefully a
medium sized cod, remove the backbone, and rub in
a good handful of salt (this manifestly depends on the
size of the fish, a 7lb. or 8lb. fish taking a woman's
large handful), lay it flat on a dish skin down-wards,
leave it thus for exactly twenty-four hours,
then hang it up to drain (preferably in the open air)
for four or five days till quite dry, when it may be
rizzared like a haddock or treated in any way
recommended for Finnon haddie, or it may be boiled
and served with egg sauce.
