• Fill a 24 quart kettle 3/4 full of water. Place over open fire or on stove and bring to boil. Add potatoes and 1 pound of salt. When boil resumes, time for 8 minutes. Then add onions wait until boil resumes then time for 2 minutes. Add whitefish and remaining salt. After 14 additional minutes of boiling dinner is ready. Broth may be ladled off prior to serving. Or use a slotted spoon to retrieve food from kettle.
• Fish is placed on plate along with 2 potatoes and 3 onions, melted butter is then ladled over and garnished with lemon wedge.

Steps:

• Add a 1/4 lb. of the salt to water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes, boil for 16 minutes. Add onions, boil for 4 minutes more. Add fish and the other 1/4 lb. of salt and boil for 10 minutes, then drain in a colander. For each plate, place two pieces of fish, two potatoes and two onions. Then drizzle the fish, potatoes and onions with 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter (I use unsalted). Serve with a wedge of lemon, coleslaw and a piece of Door County cherry pie for dessert.

Steps:

• 1. Put water and salt in a 3 to 4 gallon pot. Fit a wire basket inside the pot. Bring to boil over high heat.. Keep on slow to medium boil and place potatoes and onions in wire basket. After potatoes have cooked 8-10 minutes ( they should have a little resistance when pierced with a fork.) lay fish on top of potatoes in the basket. Boil fish about 8 minutes untill cooked through. Do not over cook. With a slotted spoon transfer fish and potatoes to plates. Garnish with lemon and parsley. Pass butter on the side..
• 2. Goes great with fresh green beans and rolls on the side.
