[Sca-cooks] powdered fish?

[Johnna Holloway]

Here's a recipe where one is instructed to powder something.

To keepe it from rotting after it is new flaine.

COuer it close from the Sunne or Ayre with Fearne, and laye it in a  
colde place, then washe it cleane and let it lye in Water halfe a  
daye, and then laye it on the Floore to drye, then set the Water and  
Salte together, and let it coole till it be leuke warme, and then  
washe the Venison therin, and let it lye in that pickle three dayes  
and thrée nightes, then take it out and powder it with drye Salt, and  
barrell it and stop it fast.
