Boiled Bass

Dress a bass, wash well and drain it, and place in a saucepan of warm water,
salted, and set over the fire. When the water boils remove to one side, and simmer
gently for twenty minutes, by which time the fish should be quite done. Let it remain
in the liquor until wanted, then take out, drain and place on a napkin spread
over a dish, garnish with boiled potatoes and sprigs of parsley and serve.
