20 November 1820 - SPERM WHALE SINKS WHALING SHIP: An 80-ton sperm
whale rams and sinks a whaleship, the Essex, from Massachusetts. Twenty
crewmembers escape in open boats, but only five will survive the
harrowing three months adrift; three others will be rescued off an
island. Herman Melville will base his novel 'Moby-Dick' on this true-
life tale.
1 c Whole milk
2 lg Eggs
1 1/2 c Flour
1/4 c Yellow cornmeal
2 tb Chopped parsley
4 (6-8 oz) flounder filets
Salt & pepper
3 tb Oil
4 Sesame-seed hamburger buns
4 Leaves romaine lettuce
1/2 lg Tomato; sliced
4 sl Mild yellow cheese (opt)
MMMMM---------------------TARTAR SAUCE (OPT--------------------------
1/2 c Mayonnaise
2 tb Pickle relish
1 tb Lemon juice
ds Hot pepper sauce
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. In
another medium-size bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal,
and parsley.
Season the fish with the salt and pepper.
Dredge the fish through the egg mixture, then coat it
thoroughly with the flour mixture.
In a large saut|- pan, immediately heat the oil over
medium-high heat. When it is hot but not smoking, add the
filets to the pan. Cook on one side until the batter is
light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Carefully turn the
filets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Using a slotted
spatula, remove them from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Meanwhile, whisk together the tartar-sauce ingredients (if
using).
Slice the buns and spread the tartar sauce (if using) on the
insides. Place a filet on each bottom bun, then top with the
lettuce, tomato, and cheese, if desired.
Tip: When buying fish filets (or fish steaks), look for
moist pieces with no dried edges or brown spots. Whole fish
should smell like the ocean, not fishy, and should have
clear eyes, red or pink gills, and glistening scales. And
all fish should be springy to the touch, not mushy.
