A Master Boiler, equally adept at storytelling and cooking, oversees the ritual. His assistants build a fire with hardwood logs arranged vertically like soldiers to keep gusts of wind away from the coals falling inward. They hoist big cauldrons of water over the fire, add an astonishing amount of salt, then put in potatoes, maybe onions, and finally the fish. All the food boiled to the pace of polka music. As fish oils floated to the top of the cauldron, the Master Boiler at the last dramatic moment threw a can of kerosene onto the fire(not into the pot, okay?). An orange fireball shot upward, causing the pot to boil over, spilling oils and water over the side and dousing the fire, leaving the fish perfectly done. Booooom!
