Baked Red Snapper Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Baked Red Snapper Recipe, first draw, clean, and then wipe a 5-pound red snapper. Wash it inside and out with salad-oil and lemon.

Make a stuffing of 1 well-beaten egg, 1 cupful of drained and chopped oysters, and half a cupful of powdered crackers. Add a tablespoonful of butter, a teaspoonful of onion juice, a teaspoonful of salt, 1 tablespoonful of minced parsley, 1/8 teaspoonful of paprika; moisten with cream and the oyster liquor until it is quite moist. After the fish is filled with the dressing sew the edges together. Put a layer of minced fat pork, together with a few slices of tomato and onion, on the grating of the roaster. Place the fish on this, and dredge the top with flour and salt, and place more minced pork on the top. Add a cupful of hot water and bake for about an hour in a hot oven, basting often. Serve with Hollandaise sauce.
