This is another one of my mother-in-law's hand-written recipes. It is absolutely delightful not so much because of the recipe itself, but because of what it’s written on. The back side is a form entitled the “Fishing Report - Ocean City Daily Sentinel-Ledger,” with lines to fill in the name of the yacht, the captain, the pier, the members of the fishing party, including home city & fish caught, the best fish, including kind, weight, & by whom caught, & a space for any miscellaneous remarks about the trip!
