Poor Man’s Lobster

Ingredients

  • Halibut or Cod fish
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 C Sugar
  • 2 Quart Water
  • Lemon pepper and/or Dill seed
  • 1/4 Stick Butter

Directions

  1. Cut up fish into 1″chuncks (no smaller).
  2. Bring water to a boil.
  3. Cut lemon in 1/2 and squeeze juice into water then throw in the rest of the lemon.
  4. Gently place the 1″ chunks of fish into the boiling water.  The water will stop boiling due to the cold fish and the fish will sink to the bottom of the pot.  Do not stir.
