Suc-h demonstrations are not._lim- ited to high schools, but also to vocational schools, trades schools, university students.ai1d all those people and organizations concern- ed with the preparation of food ‘throughout the Maritimes. VARIETY ’ Miss Zwicker, whose birthplace is Lunenburg, N.S., one of the world‘s famed fishing ports, is not theorizing when she urges the homemakers to feature fish more often on their menus. The many varieties of fish and shellfish are quite different in taste and tex-‘ ture, so frequent use of these pro- ducts add variety to the menu and at the same time prov-ide a highly nutritious food. Good health is a matter of daily concern and meals eaten every day are the building blocks of good health. Fish muscle is com- posed mainly of protein, fat a.-d water and provides mineral salts and Vitamins. Fish‘ contains 15 to 20 per cent protein; about the same propor- tation as in other protein foo '.s such as me t and poultry. The proteins in ushsupply all the es- sential amino acids, which means that fish alone would be able to supply the body’s protein needs for health and growth. Experimen- tal feeding tests have shown that fish is one of the most efficient of all protein foods in promoting groweth. ' NEVER TOUGH , One of the reasons for theghigh biologic 1 value of fish as com- pared o other protein foods, i.e. milk, eggs, meat, may be due to the smaller amount of connec- tive tissue since all of these foods are complete proteins. In fish muscles about 3 per cent of the protein is connective tissue .while in meat muscle it avera s 13 per cent. For this reason fish is never tough and does not require the long slow cooking needed for poorer cuts of meat. Fish pro- tein is easily digested and exper- iments on digestibility by human subjects have shown that from .90 to 96 per cent of the protein is digested. FAT CONTENT VARIES Fish vary in fat content—«from those species having a low fat content, for example cod and had- dock (about one per cent), halibut has a medium fat content (two to five per cent), to the fat‘._- fish, namely salmon, mackerel or her- ring. Fatty fish are always re- latively fatty, but the fat content varies with the season and spawn- ing cycle, —e.g., herring may con- tain as little as .4 per cent fat to 22 per cent fat. ' as in meat, but is distributed throughout the flesh. In certain areas however, particularly just below the skin, the fat content is higher than elsewhere. The fat in the fish is also easily and almost completely digested. The flesh of the fatty fish is rich in vitamins A and D and the fish oils found in the flesh are composed of glice- rides of saturated and unsatura- ted fatty acids which are of val- ue in nutrition. If the fish flesh has a high fat content, there are more calories per serving in the fish. ..if the fat content is low, the caloric content is low. LIVER PRODUCTS Fish not having a high fat con- tent in the flesh have a high pro- portion of fat in the liver, in some cases as high as 73 per cent. This REFRIGERATOR REPAIRS ELECTRICAL .

(CP Wirephoto) fat is used for medicinal purpos- es. . .namely the fish liver oils so high in .the vitamins A and D. Marine fish and shelfish also contain very high amounts of io- dine. A deficiency of iodine in the diet will cause the enlarge- ment of the thyroid gland, and this condition is known as goitre. Refined methods of analysis have shown that marine fish, shellfish and seaweed (e.g. dulse) are very high in iodine, and this goitre con- dition is rarely found in areas where marine fish are used in the diet. MINERAL SOURCE Fish also contains significant quantities of calcium and phos- phorous, and as in all animal foods these two minerals are found mainly in the bones. ‘In canned fish the bones have be- come soft and edible and these bones are /an excellent dietary source of these "two minerals. It is a good idea to’ crush any bones found in’ the. canned fish and, in- clude them in the recipe. A few examples of these canned ' fish would be sardines,'salmon, chic- ken haddie and mackerel.’ Shell- fish such as oysters and clams, which are eaten whole, provide more iron than any other fish. All fish are good sources of‘ phosph- orous, copper and fluorine. COOKS QUICKLY Fish can be prepared in many different» ways: baking, broiling, poaching, steaming, in parchment paper or aluminum foil. It can lie served in chowders, salads, sand- wiches or casseroles, and is so versatile that it can be featured on breakfast menus, as well as the dinner and supper menus. It is also very quick and easy to prepare. Since it has no tough con- nective tissue, it can be cooked quicly at a high t‘em-perature - namely at 450 to 500 degrees F. When cooking fish, allow 10 min- utes baking time.for each inch thickness‘ if the fish is not frozen, and 20 minutes per inch thickness if the fish is frozen. - .Hardny races all over the world are fish-eaters. Fish is very pro- minent in the diets of the Scan- dinavians and the Japanese, and these races are notd for posses- sing strong bones and teeth, phy- sical vigor and mental alertness. no foundation for the old saying- that “fish is brain food"; how- ever, it is a foregone’ conclusion that smart people eat fish.‘ Morons BANNED waters in’ Jasper national park without written permission from the parks superintendent.
