Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 fillets of cod or other white meat fish such as halibut, I think the thicker cut fillets work better
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar OR 1/2 potato OR 20 oz 7-Up or other lemon/lime soda

Method
 

  1. Boil the fish in either: 1) water + 1/4 cup sugar, 2) water+1/2 potato, or 3) lemon/lime soda, for about 10 minutes or until the fish begins to flake apart.
  2. Serve immediately, dip in drawn butter.
