[A ‘This newspaper Is a member of We Audit Bureau of Circulation; THE LiBERAL “My Business is “Fish can be quite elegant And cost a pretty penny But fish can save you money. too When you havg hgrdly any." Each year the Lenten season brings an increased awareness of fish as an item of diet. Fish and shellfish are marketed in such forms as fresh, frozen and can- ned. Here is some helpful advice from the federal Department of Fisheries on the buying of fish. If you buy a whole fish, see that the flesh is firm and elastic. springing back when pressed, and not separating from ‘the bones. The gills should be red. not brown, the eyes bright and prom- inent. and the scales sparklin . A sure guide to the freshness o the fish is its odour. which should be fresh, mild and barely detectable. If buying fresh fillets or steaks. see that they have a fresh cut appearance. The colour of the flesh should resemble that of freshly dressed fish. It should be firm in texture without traces of brownlng about the edges and it should not look dried out. If buying live shellfish. see that crustaceans such as lobsters and crabs are lively and vigorous. See that molluscs such as oysters and clams have tightly closed shells. Don’t keep fresh fish waiting. Buy it the day you plan to use it. Wrap it in moisture-proof paper and store it in the refrigerator untilA time of cooking. Frozen fish should be solidly frozen when purchased. There should be no discoloration in the flesh and it should have little or no odour. A strong fishy odour indicates poor quality. When buying canned fish it pays to read the label. From it you can find out the weight of the can, added ingredients, and the name of the manufacturer. At the present time there are no fedâ€" eral government grades for can- ned fish appearing on can labels and so a consumer's own exper- ience with brand names is his or her best guide to wise selection. Servings of fish are generally based on the ratio of one-third to one-half pound of edible flesh for each person. To provide this. the approximate amounts are as fol- lows: fillets. steaks or fish sticks IA; po nd, dressed fish Jyé pound, and w ole fish 1 pound per .per- son. .
