While I do not doubt for a minute that fish contains superb food qualities, I prefer to eat fish because it pleases the palate like- nothing else will. Living, as we do, on the Atlantic- Seaboard where fish of all varieties '■ are readily available in abundance, we are naturally deeply interested in having the peple of our sister pro­ vinces make use of our food supplies;: but despite my mercenary interest as- a public man in the natural resourc­ es of oux* Province, my own experi-- ence prompts me to advise people to- use fish liberally because of its oww delightful appeal.
