Buy fresh fish. Two pounds will serve 2 or 3 people. Wash and slice fish crosswise into serving pieces. Do not bone. Squeeze lemon over fish and refrigerate at least 1/2 hour. In a heavy pot with a tight cover, arrange fish and cover with water. Arrange vegetables starting with onions and ending with potatoes. Cook slowly 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Serve hot or cold.
