-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 lb Salt Pork, diced
4 c Diced raw Potatoes
3 x Med Onions, peeled & sliced
2 ts Salt
3 lb White fleshed Fish *
2 c Scalded Milk
1 t Butter or margarine
1/4 ts Pepper, or to taste

* Use 3 - 3 1/4 pounds fresh skinned haddock or other
white-fleshed fish with bones in it.
Fry salt pork to render all fat in a heavy kettle and
then remove. Add potatoes, onions, and 1/2 teaspoon
salt. Cover with hot water and cook over medium heat,
covered, 15 minutes, until potatoes are just tender.
Do not overcook. Meanwhile, cut fish into large
chunks and put into another saucepan. Add boiling
water to cover and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cook slowly,
covered, until fish is fork tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Strain and reserve liquid. Remove
any bones from fish. Add fish and strained liquid to
potato-onion mixture. Pour in milk and leave on stove
long enough to heat through, about 5 minutes. Mix in
butter and pepper. Serve at once. Serves 4 to 6.
