FACTS ABOUT FISH DIET.
The Varieties That Arc Known to Be
Most Nourishina.

Fish, with few exceptions. Is far be-
low meat in nutritive value in proper
ton to hulk. but the same elements
are contained in both. 1t is only
necessary to eat enough fish to secure
the same amount of essentials. The
nutrients of the human body are pro-
tein, fat and carbohydrates. Besides
these all foods practically contain a
large percentage of water and a small
percentage Of mineral matter.
The fish containing the most nutri-
ment are Spanish mackerel, salt water
cells, salmon, shad, shad roe, sailed
mackerel. sailed and dried cod. bone
less Goldfish" caviare, sailed. smoked
and dried halibut, and Of the canned
fish, sardines, salmon, fresh and salt
mackerel. funny. paddock. lobster. crab
and shrimp. Nearly all Of these men,
toned are equivalent in nutritive
value to an equal amount Of veal.
California salmon, No. sailed mack
erel, caviare, sailed, smoked and dried
halibut. canned sardines. canned
salmon and canned salt mackerel are
equivalent to the average Of beef. veal
and mutton. Caviare, indeed, contains
twice the nutriment of almost all
meats and is almost equal to side pork.
which contains the highest amount of
nutritive elements Of any meat. The
large proportion of the nutriment in
pork, however, it may be incidentally
remarked. is fat, it being the lowest in
the scale as regards protein. the most
valuable nutriment.
According to Government publica-
lions based on Investigations made by
Professor w. o. Atwater and the New
Jersey Fish Commission. the percent
age Of actual nutriment in preserved
fish is much larger than in the cor
responding fresh fish. while canned
fish, which in effect is cooked nsn,
compares favorably with the fresh fish.
Shellfish resembles meat and food
fish in general composition. A quart
of oysters. roughly estimated, con-
tains about the same quantity OF actual
nutriment substances as a quart or
milk. or three-fourths Of a pound Of
beef. or two pounds Of fresh goldfish, or
a mound Of bread. oysters come
near er to milk than almost any other
common food material as regards both
the amounts and the relative proper
tions of nutrients. Many oysters are
"fattened" after being taken from the
beds and before- being sold by hoating
them about forty-eight hours In fresh
or brackish water.
By this PROCESS the oyster acquires
n,umpness, and its bulk and weight are
nroftablv increased. Oyster men COM
monty believe that the oyster. by this
process, actually does become fatter
and gains in flavor. Careful expert
ments indicate that what the fresh
water actually does Is to dissolve the
saIt from the tissues of the oyster and
d;stend them with water. This IN
creases the weight and reduces the
nutritive material from one-eighf to
one-fifth. Many consumers think the
,,rproyement in favor compensates Tor
tho decrease in nutritive value. The
"fattenning' also decreases the vitality
~ the oyster. Green oysters are not
injurious. Is some suppose. This color

is due to the green plant life on which
oysters feed.
Experiments indicate that in the case
of man. fish and beef are about equally
digestible, and that salt fish is less
thoroughly digested than fresh fish.
Most Psychologists regard fish as a par
ticularly desirable food for persons of
sedentary habits. The widespread
notion that fish contains a large pro-
portion Of phosphorus, and is. there
fore, especially valuable as a food for
the brain. is not accepted by many
Psychologists. There il no EXPERT
mental evidence to warrant this as
sumption.
There are several species of fish
which are actually poisonous. but few
OF them are found In the United States.
and the chances Of their being offered
for sale are small. Fish may contain
parasites. some Of which are injurious
to man. Thorough cooking, however
destroys them. To insure freedom
from ptomaine poisoning care should
be taken to eat fish only when it is in
perfectly good condition. Fish which
mas been frozen. and, after thawing.
kept for a time before It Is cooked. Is
especially likely to contain ptomaines.
Canned fish should never be allowed to
remain long in the can after opening.
but should be used at once. Oysters,
when 'floated" or "fattened." should
never be placed in water contaminated
by sewage.
