BAKED BLUEFISH STUFFED WITH WELLFLEET OYSTERS

Steps:

• Take a whole 5-pound bluefish and stuff it with a Wellfleet oyster dressing made as follows. For Oyster Dressing: Place oysters and their liquor and a cup of white wine in a pan, and add a little fresh ground black pepper (the liquor furnishes the salt); poach the oysters gently until their edges curl. Drain off the broth and use it to wet down and knead 3 or 4 slices of French bread into a paste. Mix this paste with the oysters and stuff the bluefish with it. Sew the fish up, lay it on greased aluminum foil in a baking pan, and bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 30 minutes or until it is browned and cooked through. Brush it a couple of times with melted butter during the baking to keep it from drying out. Lay the whole fish out on a platter on a bed of lettuce leaves. Serve a tomato sauce on the side and a bottle of white wine moderately chilled. Fun Fact: One of the laws regulating oysters prohibited their taking during the months without an "R." Although this was done as a conservation measure during spawning, people erroneously came to believe that oysters were inedible in May, June, July, and August.

BAKED BOSTON SCROD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a baking pan large enough to hold the scrod in a single layer. Place the scrod in the prepared baking pan, and add the salt, pepper, lemon juice, and wine. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the melted butter over the fish. Bake at 350° for approximately 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes but is still moist. Remove the pan from the oven and preheat the broiler. Scatter the bread crumbs over the fish, and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup butter. Brown under the broiler for 2-5 minutes only, until lightly browned, and serve.
