Boiled Fish

Start by cleaning the fish very well. Remove all of its fins and scales but leave its head on. Boil it in water until the flesh falls from the bones. While the fish is boiling be sure to remove the scum that occasionally collects on the surface of the water. The fish should be cooked for 5 to 10 minutes per pound. When it is done simply season it with salt and pepper to your own personal taste.
