This is a chart from an 1860's English cookbook showing the 12 fish that every chef should know how to prepare. What does /ck/ think of this particular set of fish?

Shit I only know like 8 of those, and know the English names for even fewer. Who's the red fuck up in the top left?

They're all delicious, if they're not farmed.

Farmed fish is okay for deep frying tho. But you are 100% right about wild fish having much better taste than farmed fish :)

I'm sure they had their reseaons, I just think it's cool to see a snapshot from history.
