Fish may be seethed [boiled], roasted, broiled and baked, every one after their kind; and use a fashion of the country, as the cook and the physician will agree and devise. For a good cook is half a physician. For the chief physick [medicine] (the council of a physician except) doth come from the kitchen; wherefore the physician and the cook for sick men must consult together for the preparation of meat for sick men.
