To Fry Salmon and Other Fish in Oil

• Olive oil, 1 small flask
• salmon, about 1½ lbs.: ½ hour or rather more.

Turn into a small deep frying-pan, which should be kept for the purpose, a flask of fresh olive oil, place it over a clear fire, and as soon as it ceases to bubble lay in a pound and a half of delicate salmon properly cleansed and well dried in a cloth, and fry it gently until it is cooked
