TUNA THE GAME FISH, AND
..-" s CANNED TUNA

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: As the question of catching
tuna for sport and canning tuna seems
to be a matter of interest to certain
people in Honolulu, am going to ven.
ture few remarks on both subjects.
First, | will state that am not and
never have been a tuna fisherman.
While | fished with light tackle for
half dozen seasons off the coast of
Southern California, fiShed perhaps as
consistently and religiously as the av-
erage fisherman, and have caught
something in excess Of so fish, on light
tackle, that were over six feet long,
yet | never caught tuna Tiny big
fish we're all sharks).ef, -|.-.... b..
But am not alone in not having
qualified as tuna fisherman. For
an investigation think will show
that the number Of men who have
qualified as tuna fishermen, accord
ing to the rules OF the Catalina club,
are about hundred iIis number or less.
And these men are not all residents
Of Avalon, or Of California for that
matter, but from everywhere.
AS to the leSping tuna, the fish
that has made Avalon famous, 1t is a
giant mackerel and an epicure that
seems to scorn all other food but fly
ing fish. Some seasons they are
caught off Catalina island but more
seasons they are not In fact, when
the season of 1909 came around no
leaping tuna had been caught off the
California coast for six years.. and
some people considered them a myth,
almost.
As to canned tuna, so called: l
have known fishermen who fished for
the canneries ever since the fish was
canned. At the close of the canning
season in 1915 | represented the fish
ermen in some matters with certain
of the packers, and at that time wen
quite thoroughly into the industry, AMI
among other things drafted the COD
tract under (which certain packers re-
ceiyed their catch for the season of
1916. So | know little about the So
called canned tuna. ~. ~. g. ii.
As to the canned tuna (aiso called
the chicken of the sea-, that it. is
some toothsome fish is evidenced by
the fact that the fish has only been
canned since 1911 and mas grown into
big industry since that time. The
name chicken Of the sea-" is descrip-
tive of the canned fish! it is as differ
ent from other canned fish as is the
avocado from 5taer fruit.
As to the fish itself: 1t is the alba
core, the little brother of the tuna.
Like the tuna it is mackerel; a min
iature tuna in fact, except in having
long side fins, almost as long in pro-
portion to the fish as those of fly
ing fish. As to size, 90 pounds is a
HUSKY albacore. out they do grow to
twice that weight. Since the fish has
been canned, the name tuna is some
times applied to the fish by fishermen,
being known as the long-finned tuna.
In the contracts between the fisher,
men and the packers. the fish is
called "albacore tuna"
An interesting matter concerning
the albacore is that prior to 1911-
when the fish was first canned, it was
considered wortlless-that is, except
as food for seals, etc. This fact is
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-01-29

well illustrated BY the old receipt for
cooking albacors, and which used to
be stock story among fishermen
along the coast Of Southern California
The receipt generally being about as
follows: That aibacorc should never
be cooked except on boat: and that
the way to do il is to first take out
the entrails. theE skin the fish, after
which it should tie cut in thin slices
and placed in skillet over charcoal
fire. While the fish is frying add a
little butter from time to time, and a
little Pepper, turning each slice three
times. When cooked each portion
should be placed On ilatter and then
dressed with some Watercress and
half, i lime When this has all been
done the fish is best served by plac.
ing the platter on the rail of the boat
and then accidentally knocking it off
into the sea. *".".... 49,. -. ~@ =. .
While this receipt gives an idea of
what used to ne thought OF the fish
by those who tried to eat il, such is
net true today. Canned albacore, or
tuna, as it is called by. the packers,
is some toothsome fish, and it is the
same eaten as a fresh fish. That is.
if it is properly cooked. AS to the
manner in which it should be cooked
to be good as fresh fish, do not
know, further than that the manager
of several of the large cafeterias in
San Diego once told me that milk was
used in cooking the fish. ~

HAsTY ACTION.


Mayor Lanes handling Of the charges against DIR.
Richard q. Aver city emergency hospital physician
Appears to have been based ON the theory that an
accused man is guilty until he is proved innocent
Certainly, in view OF the prompt and emphatic
reply which DIR. Aver made through the Star BulIe
lin Saturday and which he has augmented in hit
statement to the Advertiser, the mayer suspended
DR. Aver without giving the physician adequate
opportunity TO answer the charges the largely
supported accusations can be dignifed by the name
81 charges. Why there was such haste on the part
81 the mayor is not clear. The city expects super
risors to act with more deliberation-the delibera
ton due any man against whom there are accuse
lions involving his professional reputation anc
character.
That full inquiry is due DR. Aver is the more
certain because for many months there have been
reports Of friction in the county administration
with DIR. Aver involved. There have been hints OF
various attempts to discredit DIR. Ayer-hints which
probably could not stand investigation since they
never developed into charges.
This is matter which the Medical Society might
we'll look into, and not impossiby the territorial
grand jury could find an interesting field for its
Efforts.

INCOMMITTEEBUT
SENATE MAY FIGHT

The Senate Committee on Military
Affairs, after a long session today,
ordered a favorable report on the
promotion of Col Carl Reichmann to
be a brigadier general The vote in
committee was to 2 in favor of Col
onel Reichmann. Senators Myers and
Frelinghuysen were the only ones to
oppose him.
Colonel Reichmann was charged
with disloyal utteraoces. Senator
Poindexter OF Washington brought
the charges to the attention of the
Senate some weeks ago. 1t is alleged
that at a tea in Chicago and else
where Colonel ReichmRnn had eX-
pressed pro-German sentiments which
untitled him for advancement in the
army.
The view of nearly all the members
Of the committee was that Colonel
Reichmann, although he had expressed
himself indsicreetly on various mat
ters. prior to the war was a faithful
soldier with a good record and that
he might be relied upon to do his en-
tire duty He is a native of Germany,
came to this country when eleven
years old, enlisted in the regular army
and rose from the ranks to his pres
ent grade.
In spite OF the recommendation of
the committee il is expected that
there will be sharp controversy over
confirmation in the Senate itself. but
it is thought that Colonel Reichmann
will be confirmed.
