Not Only on FRIDAY

During the grain emergency, fish
is a logical choice for any main
meal in addition to its traditional
use on Fridays. Fish feed them
selves and don't require grain as
do cattle and poultry, and fish are
also good source of protein. Good
quality fish, frozen or canned, are
available in almost any community.
Fresh fish should be bought on the
day it is to be cooked and served.
Fish usually are less expensive
early in the week than on Friday.
