Prepare the fish as described above; make closely spaced incisions on both sides, salt it, and it off after an hour.
Then mix several raw egg yolks with the juice of a lemon, minced shallots and parsley, and equal parts of fresh butter and anchovy butter; coat the fish with the mixture. Place it on slices of pork fat in a baking pan and bake it in a hot oven, occasionally adding a little white wine to the pan. When the walleye is done and a golden brown crust has formed, serve it at once, accompanied by a crayfish or oyster sauce.

Use a sharp knife to shave the scales very close to the skin, leaving it white; split the fish and cut it into pieces of a convenient size, rinse them well, boil them for 5 minutes in salted water, and place them in another kettle.
Meanwhile boil capers in white wine and some of the fish broth, with lemon juice and peel, a generous knob of fresh butter, and some grated white bread. Pour this sauce over the pickerel and let the fish stew in it gently for ¼ hour. If desired, when the fish are served the sauce can be slightly seasoned with anchovies. Then stir in an egg yolk and bring the pickerel hot to the table.

Clean the salmon thoroughly and cut it into appropriate pieces. Mix together the following herbs: parsley, shallots, tarragon, and capers, refreshed and filleted anchovies, and some ground pepper. Melt fresh butter and add the chopped herbs and enough lemon juice to lend an acidulated flavor. Place it on the stove; when it has warmed, add the salmon and let it stew for 2 hours, turning frequently; the butter must remain melted but must not brown. Now heat the pan with the butter and sauté the salmon for 10 minutes, brushing the herbs on both sides of the salmon frequently with a feather.
For the sauce, add 2 glasses of white wine to the herbs and boil down to a few spoonfuls of concentrated broth; if it is not acidulated enough, add some lemon juice. Stir in an egg yolk to thicken the sauce.
