Method :
Set the oven
to 180C, Mark 4. Rub the inside of an ovenproof dish with a little
butter. Roll the pieces of fish and put them in the dish. Add the cider
and the water, salt and pepper. Cover the dish and put it in the oven.
Cook for 15 minutes. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Take the
saucepan off the heat and stir in the flour. Take the fish out of the
ovenproof dish. Keep it warm. Put the cider and water in which you have
cooked the fish into the small saucepan. Stir well. Bring the sauce to
the boil, stirring all the time. There must not by any lumps. Cook
slowly for 4 minutes. Take it off the heat. Add the lemon juice, parsley
and cream. Check the seasoning. Add more salt and pepper if necessary.
Put the fish on a plate, then pour in the hot sauce over it. Serve at
once. Mashed potatoes and green peas or beans go well with this dish.

In Britain
sole is an expensive fish. There are two kinds. Lemon sole, which comes
from the North Sea, is cheaper than Dover sole. Dover sole does not only
come from the Channel near Dover. Good Dover sole is also found in the
Irish Sea. Sole is a flat fish like plaice. You could make this dish
with plaice, too. Cider is sometimes called Britain's wine. It is made
from apples and can be very delicious. Some of the best cider is made in
the West Country (Devon and Somerset) where they call it "scrumpy". You
can get sweet, medium and dry cider. Dry cider is best for this dish.
