774—Turtle
with the exception of those firms which make
this their speciality, is almost exclusively used in preparing Turtle
Soup. The flippers are sometimes served braised au Madère.
I do not think it at all necessary to lay any further stress upon the series of preparations bearing the names of Croquettes, Cromesquis, Côtelettes (côtelettes here only mean those prepared from cooked fish, and which are really but a form of croquettes), Coquilles, Bouchées, Palets, &c., which may be made from any kind of cooked fish. These preparations are so well known that it would be almost superfluous to repeat their recipes.
