THE BASSES: FRES H-W ATER AND MARINE 



In fact, a good plan to get better results would 

 be to soak fresh- water fish in strong salted water 

 for thirty minutes, especially if the fish are caught 

 in lakes or pools. By this means the flavor is im- 

 proved, and the unpleasant muddy taste done away 

 with. 



The case is different with striped bass or sea 

 bass; less salt is necessary, and if properly boiled, 

 baked, broiled, or fried, there is not a fish that is 

 more delicious than these, especially the striped 

 bass.
