Soak, boil, and pick the fish, if salt, as for fish-balls. If fresh,
boil and pick into bits. Add an equal quantity of mashed potatoes, a
large tablespoonful of butter and milk, enough to make it very soft.
Put into a skillet, and add a little boiling water to keep it from
burning. Turn and toss constantly until it is smoking hot but not dry;
add pepper and parsley, and dish.
