Quick Baked Fish, Spencer Method
From The Modern Family Cookbook
2 lbs. fish
¼ cup evaporated milk
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
salad oil
This method may be used for cleaned small whole fish, fillets or thick steaks cut from larger fish. When buying fish steaks, have them cut ½-inch thick. Dip fish into a mixture of evaporated milk, water and salt, and then roll it in bread crumbs until thickly coated with crumbs. Place in an oiled baking pan, sprinkling each piece lightly with oil. (Allow 2 tablespoons oil for the 2 lbs. of fish.) Heat oven very hot (500° to 600° F.), put fish into hot oven and bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Never add water; do not turn fish while baking. When done, pieces of fish will be brown and dry on outside, tender and juicy on inside. 5 servings.
