The Lutefish recipe sounds a little like the backwoods recipe for carp (a bottom-feeding fish with a bad reputation). Take a carp and nail it to a pine board cut just a little longer than the fish. Marinade the fish and board in a mixture of pepper, mustard, salt, vinegar, lemon juice and tartar sauce overnight. Place board and fish on a cookie sheet and bake in oven at 400 degrees F for 3 and 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Separate carp from board. Discard carp and eat the board. Serves about four.
