• 1. Put water and salt in a 3 to 4 gallon pot. Fit a wire basket inside the pot. Bring to boil over high heat.. Keep on slow to medium boil and place potatoes and onions in wire basket. After potatoes have cooked 8-10 minutes ( they should have a little resistance when pierced with a fork.) lay fish on top of potatoes in the basket. Boil fish about 8 minutes untill cooked through.
