1/2 lb. Lean Beef
3/4 Pint of Water

Then put the jar into the pan of boiling water and keep the water bubbling for two hours. Remove the jar from the pan. Strain the beef liquid to remove remaining fat.
Before serving, add more salt if necessary.

TG,
LOL, I saw that on Dirty Jobs.....I was trying to keep that under wraps. ;)
Ah, you are thinking of the 'square' lantern batteries. I don't know if there is a letter designation for them...the M batteries were about 8x 1.5x 1.5 inches - They were mostly used in transistor radios... Giant ipods. :rolleyes:
Karen,
If you can. try one! The meat is wonderful, that was the first time I had ever tried to cook that type of fish in the oven, and I was really surprised at the result.
Slice it along the skin diagonally, salt, pepper and wrap it in foil. 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Watch out for the dorsal spines!
There is a small chain of seafood stores here in So Cal called El Pescado Mojado- The Wet Fish.
They deep fry the fish and serve it with rice, beans, salad and tortillas.
They call the fish "mojarra" (Moh Har rah). Deep fried it's tastier....if you can believe that!
