I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

1. Have fish cleaned and scaled, but left whole. Wash; then dry well with paper toweling. Score on each side with 3 diagonal slashes. Rub lightly with salt.
2. Cover fish with any of the coatings indicated below.
3. Heat oil in deep fryer (enough to cover fish completely.) Add fish and deep-fry until done, 8 to 15 minutes, depending on size (allow about 1 minute on each side over high heat, about 4 minutes on each side over medium heat, and about 1 minute on each side over high heat again.) Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve hot with a soy sauce dip or other fish sauce.
