cold water until crisp; drain dry, and cut in fine shreds.

BOILED HALIBUT--COLD
Have a piece of Halibut cut weighing two and one-half pounds. Tie in a
square of cheese cloth (to prevent scum from settling on the flesh of
fish). Cover with boiling water to which add salt and vinegar or lemon
juice; the acid preserves the whiteness of the fish. Boil until the
flesh leaves the bones (about thirty-five minutes). Drain and remove
from cheese cloth. Pick out bones and remove skin. Place in a vessel
that will preserve the shape of fish, chill and dispose fish on a cold
serving platter on a bed of garden cress. Set a cucumber basket at
intervals (one for each guest), and serve with
VINAIGRETTE SAUCE
