In On the Banks of Plum Creek, Laura Ingalls Wilder describes how there was a waterfall in the creek near the Ingalls family's home in Minnesota. The ever-resourceful Pa nailed together a trap to catch the fish that went over the waterfall, and Ma fried the fish for supper that night.
You needn't live near a waterfall or catch your own fish to enjoy fried fish just as Pa, Ma, Laura, Mary, and Carrie did. Here's a recipe for pan-fried fish like Ma made. Turn to chapter 19 "The Fish-Trap" in On the Banks of Plum Creek to read the whole story.
Have you ever been fishing? Did you eat the fish you caught?
