TROUT.
Small-isized trout are best fried. Split them and wipe them dry
with a cloth—a soft cloth and a gentle hand are necessary. Then
dredge them lightly with flour, or roll in fine oatmeal. Melt
enough dripping in your frying-pan to just cover the fish; when.
it is still and smoking put in the fish one at a time, with a few
seconds between each, so as to keep up the heat. Fry a golden
brown, take up, sprinkle with salt, drain on thickly-folded
kitchen paper in front of the fire, and serve.—Miss A. L. Walker,
