FISH
BALUCK.
In the Orient, the varieties of fish are numerous and possess better flavors
than most of their kind in other waters; therefore, they have become an
important article of diet, either as a part of certain dishes or by themselves,
and are greatly esteemed. The method of preparation adds greatly to the delicacy
of all fish food, and we trust we may be permitted to say, with a just and
modest pride, that the proper treatment of fish for the table is an Oriental
specialty.
Besides being used as a more or less nourishing food, certain kinds of fish are
also prepared in the Orient as relishes in endless variety. We are glad to give
in this book the recipes of the principal dishes of both kinds.
Fish must always be fried in olive oil, if there is not a serious reason for
doing otherwise, as it will turn an unpleasing color when fried in any other
fat.
