Creating a Taste for Fish

From the Nations Business.
 In our coastal cities there is highly developed taste for sea food but, like the ethics of Confucius, it is based on the worship of ancestors. When the first settlers came to these shores a few centuries ago they were used to eating cod and haddock and mackerel and a few other kinds, and they went on eating them. Their descendants are eating them still. And the worst of it, they won't eat anything else in the way of fish. The bureau of fisheries has again and again published impress siye lists of the valuable food fishes which swim in our coastal waters. but which the fishermen must throw away because there is no market for them. As you go inland the problem be- comes still more embarrassing. Even such staple fish as the haddock and the whiting low prices and in surplusage on the coast are unknown and unused for lack of organized distribution and advertising. Nebraskan, for exam ple. will generally pass over that part of the menu which treats of fish with out glance. He goes straight for the meats. He was raised on beef, and he has not the habit of eating fish at all Yet this man can be taught to eat fish. It has been done in other countries.
