3 To 6 lb. red snapper
6 Slices bread (white)
2 tb Butter
2 tb Chopped parsley
1/8 ts Thyme
-Basting sauce:
3/4 c Salad oil
3 tb Melted butter

1/8 ts Sage
2 tb Chopped tomato

4 tb Finely minced celery
1 1/2 ts Salt

Saute minced celery in butter over low heat. Add chopped tomato,
Tabasco sauce, parsley, thyme, salt, sage and bread which was soaked
in cold water, then squeezed dry. Blend all in skillet, then stuff
into fish cavity. Skewer opening closed. Bake, uncovered, in preheated
oven set at 350 degrees, basting often with sauce. Allow about 10
minutes baking time per pound of fish. A greased sheet of paper or
white cloth left under the snapper will make it easier to transfer to
serving platter. Now back to the basting sauce: Blend butter, lemon
juice, salt, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce, adding oil a
little at a time. Pour over fish before starting baking. Baste often.
