1. Marjoram goes well with fish, and here's a recipe that uses it both in and on the fish.
2. Neither lake trout nor salmon need be scaled, but do scale the pike.
3. A whole baked fish on a garnished platter always looks good to guests.
4. Salt and pepper the fish inside and out, then stuff it and sew up or skewer the opening.
5. Place in a buttered pan and lay lemon slices along its length.
6. Stick a toothpick in each slice.
7. Add the vegetables, marjoram, bay leaf, and white wine and bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes in a 400F (200C) oven, basting first with the melted butter and then with the liquid in the pan.
8. CELERY STUFFING Saute the chopped celery and onions in butter in a small skillet for 15 minutes, until tender but still with a little bite.
9. Add the chopped celery tops and the bread crumbs.
10. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and savory.
11. Makes 1 cup.
12. FENNEL SEED AND TARRAGON STUFFING Mix all ingredients together and stuff fish.
