A Food and Fertilizer
During the past few years the Uni-
I versity of Toronto and other centres
have been making a thorough study of
the possibilities of ling as a food, as
Ifish meal or fertilizer and as a source
of liver oil. From an economic view-
point, of course, •the use of ling as
food Is the most important, and until
recently the consensus of opinion on
the North American continent has .
been against it, possibly on account
of the fish's forbidding appearance,
The fact remains, however, that in
Europe the ling is considered to be a
"delicately flavored iish" with an excel-
lent market, and the• liver and roe
have always been looked upon as de-
licacies. In the United States, through
a campaign conducted by the Bureau
of Fisheries, a market has been es-
tablished, and during the war it was
obtainable in Canada, but as soon as
the scarcity of treat carne to an end no
further attempt to continue the mar
.tet was made. !
In 1928 some interesting experi-
ments in the cooking of ling were
made by the Department of Household '
Science of the University of Toronto,
nd the outcome was that fried ling
,.
was found to be "palatable,
p b , tender,
uicy, and had a delicate flavor," ;Fish,
