Didn't you have a boiled or even a broiled fish of some kind for your
dinner, either halibut, striped bass, or fresh cod? If you did, just
take what was left of it and flake it up daintily; put a layer of it
in a salad bowl that has been rubbed with an onion, sprinkle the fish
with salt and lemon juice, put in a layer of shredded lettuce,
dressing this also with lemon juice and salt, another layer of the
fish and lastly one of lettuce. Cover it all with a layer of tartar
sauce, and there you have a salad worth the eating. 'Twouldn't tempt a
dying anchorite, perhaps, but it's quite good enough for human
nature's daily food.
