It must be carved by first making an incision down the back, 1 to 2, and a second from 5 to 6; then divide the side 3 to 4, and cut the slices, as preferred, from the upper or thick part, or from the lower richer thin part, or give a little of each. Salmon trout, as it is usually called, haddocks, or large whitings are carved in the same way.
He engaged the goodwife of the house with some compliments upon the rizzoring of our haddocks; and the whole of the rest of our stay held her in talk about a cold he had taken on his stomach, gravely relating all manner of symptoms and sufferings, and hearing with a vast show of interest all the old wives' remedies she could supply him with in return.
He reflects for a few years on the subject of cats; and at last discovers in the cat "the characteristic equine quality of caudality, or a tail"; so that cats are horses, and wave on every tree-top the tail which is the equine banner. Nightingales are found to have legs, which explains their power of song. Haddocks are vertebrates; and therefore are sea-horses.
Haec. "What was she talking about? Cooking was child's play to her; she had other things to cook than haddocks' livers." "Ah! let not her chaste sister be angry; she had meant it all in kindness." Haec. "No doubt but why did she call the convent a Sodom and Gomorrah? Did the nuns ever admit a lover into their cells?" "No, no, fie! how could the chaste sister bring her lips to utter such words?"
'Hullo! said Harry triumphantly; 'it's a fine big one and no mistake! 'It's a good size, said Marjorie, 'but, Harry, would you mind not kicking my feet as you jump about. Harry muttered an apology, and just at that moment Hamish drew in a big cod, then two little haddocks were pulled up by Tricksy.
Grace was said by the Professor of Divinity, in a macaronic Latin, which I could by no means follow, only I could hear it rhymed, and I guessed it to be more witty than reverent. After which the Senatus Academicus sat down to rough plenty in the shape of rizzar'd haddocks and mustard, a sheep's head, a haggis, and other delicacies of Scotland.
For the haddocks and cod are always found near the shore without any dog-fish among them, and the dog-fish further off without any haddocks or cod; and yet the former are known to prey upon the latter, and in some years devour such immense quantities as to render this fishery more expensive than profitable.
"I've got one!" cries Jorrocks "I've got one now, my wig, if I can but land him. I have him, certainly by Jove! he's a wopper, too, judging by the way he kicks. Oh, but it's no use, sir come along come along here he is doublets, by crikey two, huzza! huzza! What fine ones! young haddocks or codlings, I should call them werry nice eating, I dare say I'm blow'd if this arn't sport."
Put up a plain monument to my memory black or white marble, whichever's cheapest but mind, no Cupids or seraphums, or none of those sort of things quite plain with just this upon it Hic jacet Jorrocks. And now I'll give you a bit of news. Neptune has appointed me huntsman to his pack of haddocks. Have two dolphins for my own riding, and a young lobster to look after them.
Scots people in general are so much wrapped up in their profession that I had a good chance of overhearing such conversation: the talk of fishmongers running usually on stockfish and haddocks; while of the Scots sexton I could repeat stories and speeches that positively smell of the graveyard. But on this occasion I was doomed to disappointment.
