Fish Facts
More People Are
Eating Sea Food

Despite a dwindling fishing fleet
and the enlistment OF commercial
fishermen in the armed forces and
defense plants, the per capita con-
sumption Of sea foods in this coun-
try is steadily rising, according TO
the Fishery Council. From a figure
Of II pounds per person in 1882. it
rose to IS pounds in l942.
The reasons for the increase are
many. Among them are the f1llet-
ing tbone and waste removaD OF
fish, tremendous boon to the busy
housewife; the development of re-
frigerated trucks and improved rail
facilities which make it possible to
ship fresh fish thousands of miles
and have 1t arrive in as prime con-
dition as when it started it's journey.
Deep-freezing. or the process OF
freezing frozen fish, has made
sea foods available to areas that
never knew the taste OF it before.
For example, Arizona consumes
deep-frozen fish flllets in carloads.
Another very important factor in
the squirt in fish consumption has
been the educational work OF nu-
triton committees, dietitians. Tho

Service, radio food programs and

OF course, the scarcity Of meats
and shortage of other foods will no
! doubt boost the amount consid-
! erably by the end of 1943. However.
we are still we'll behind the other
major maritime nations in the con-
sumption of sea foods. In 1897 Eng

done with these two oddments to

Well, spinach and egg are natural

To bind up the spinach and the eggs
a bit of cream sauce suggests itself.
SO into little baking dish, we'll but

chopped up. And on the spinach go
the three poached eggs-or there
may be four, for that matter. Then
over this the cream sauce and some
pepper and salt. Then, to put on
the crowning touch, the grated
cheese. And the dish goes into the
over for quick browning. Here is
luncheon dish for three or four.
With it, a bowl of ripe olives, a cup
OF tea or a glass of milk. A few
hard rolls, split and buttered and
toasted, are excellent. Raw fruit or
a stewed pear or peach for dessert.
