520. SMALL CARP, FRIED.
CLEANSE and scale the carp, split them down the back, open them flat, season with pepper and salt, dip them in flour and immediately fry them of a fine colour; dish them on a napkin, garnish round with fried parsley, and send to table with either Italian anchovy or Dutch sauce, separately in a sauce-boat.
If preferred, the carp may be bread-crumbed for frying in the usual way.
