I, THOMAS KING of Pelham Villa Bargate, Great Grimsby in the County of
Lincolnshire, Outfitter do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The new food is made as follows; To each pound of corn or grain, or any portion
of the same, cooked or uncooked, I add an equal quantity (more or less) of fish, or
fish liver or of both, previously preserved, in salt sugar or by smoking or by all three,
cooked or uncooked, with or without the addition of any suitable vegetable matter,
cooked or uncooked.
I mix these ingredients thoroughly together when they may be cooked as desired,
and made into the form of cakes, sausages, and such like, by the usual mode of baking,
boiling, or smoking or otherwise preserving.
Sometimes I do not grind the ingredients but make the flour or meal into a paste
or dough before placing the fish therein.

page_text: I, THOMAS KING of Pelham Villa, Bargate, Great Grimsby, in the County of
Lincolnshire, Outfitter, do hereby declare the nature of my invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
This invention consists in the treatment of fish as hereinafter set forth and the
formation therefrom of various forms of food, which shall retain their freshness for
lengthened periods of time such food being adapted for the nourishment of animals
and birds.
For this purpose I take fish (or any part thereof) and preserve it by cooking and
afterwards drying it, or by drying it only. The drying may be performed in any
convenient manner as for instance by the application of heat or by smoke or steam.
Likewise the cooking may be performed by boiling or baking or by any other method
and means. The dried fish is then ground to a finer or coarser product as may be
desired. Or, in place of the above mentioned process, may use fish cooked, but not
subsequently dried, the said cooked fish being ground or otherwise pulverised. Or I
may use raw fish and grind or otherwise pulverise the same, without previous cooking
thereof.
The product obtained by either of the abovementioned processes is then mixed with
meal or flour made from corn or any grain ground to a suitable degree of fineness, in
the proportions of about one third fish to two thirds meal more or less; these
proportions being varied to suit different requirements.
The fish ground or unground may also be mixed with the grain and the whole
ground together if desired.
Also to either of the above mixtures may be added vegetable matter (cooked or
uncooked) preferably about 10 to 20 per cent.
The mixture is then ready for use as a meal or pulp according to the state of the
fish used, and this meal or pulp may be made into articles of food such as sausages,
cakes, biscuits, tinned food, or any other convenient form of food, either by baking,
boiling, steaming or otherwise cooking the same, or in any other convenient manner.
The fish alone dried or cooked can also be used as an animal or bird food.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I claim is:
As a food for animals and birds or for use in the preparation of such food: The
use of fish dried, cooked or uncooked with grain, meal or flour or otherwise and with
or without the addition thereto of uncooked or cooked vegetable matter substantially
as hereinbefore described.
