Stuffed and Baked Fish

Soak bread in cold water till soft--drain off the water, mash the bread fine, mix it with a table spoonful of melted butter, a little pepper and salt--a couple of raw eggs makes the dressing cut smoother--add spices if you like. Fill the fish, with the dressing, sew it up, put a tea cup of water in your bake pan, and a small piece of butter--lay in the fish, bake it from forty to fifty minutes. Fresh cod, bass, and shad, are suitable fish for baking.
