For the knives and forks, if they are

rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not
allow the fishy dis hes to remain un-
washed and do not mix them in the
dish pan with other dishes. The
dishes and silver used with the fish
on the table should be similarly
treated, although cooked FISH is not
so Objectionable as raw. The dishes
in which il is cooked should be thor
oughly secured and rinsed. but II Is a
good idea to have a special dish which
you reserve for fish cooking. Finally
when you have finished washing all
other dishes, make sure that no fish
odor clings TO metal parts of the
sink faucet or drain. This can be
removed easily by washing with q
generous amount Of very hot sOaT
suds. If possible do not have any
