WISH FOR FISH
Hello Homemakers! In artime,
hatnemakers can help by buying the
foods Canada proVides in abundance,
while restricting the use of other
foods needed oversea. No other
country has greater or finer supplies
of fish than Canada—and fish is one
food Canadians should eat oftener
than they do.
* *
No other food provides" more nutri-
tion at low cost. Its protein value eq-
uals that of meat or p.oultry. Fish
oils are easily assimilated. Fish is
rich in mineral salts, iodine, iron, cal-
cium, phosphorus, and sulphur, so es-
sential to good health. It also con-
tains a good -supply of those vitamins
which increase resistance to disease.
• * *
With so many kinds of fish to
choose from and different ways to
cook it—baking, broiling, steaming or
pan-frying—it is easy., to have variety
in your fish dishes. Cooked carefully
do that none of its delicate flavour is
lost, served with appropriate sauces
and cleverly garnished, you Can be

Coo k ng'Fish
Wipe fish with a cloth wrung out
in cold, sailed water. Never leave
fish soaking in water—flavour will be
lost.
(1) To boil fish allow 8-10 minutes
per pound; 10-15 minutes if very
thick.
To steam .fish allow 12-15 min-
utes per pound; turn once or twice.
(3) To bake or broil fish allow' 8-10
minutes per inch thickness of fish at
temperature of 450 degrees for the
first 10 minutes, then lower to 350
degrees. The high texiiperature used
at first sets the .juices and holds ;the
flavour.
(4) Parsley is the favourite garnish
for fish.
