1 ' , "WKIIIIMJUU r, P v r COOKING OF FISH Fish make fine eating when quickly baked, broiled, pan-broiled, steamed or poached. They're also very good when given this Spanish treatment in a fish pie enhanced with almonds, onions, tomatoes, garlic and paprika. Recipes are included in today's food columns. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor N Such Thing as Tough Fish; Most People Overcook This Food From the Pacific and At lantic oceans, from gulfs, from fresh water lakes and streams come fish, most plent iful of all natural foods. Each variety of fish and shellfish has a distinct flavor brought out when cooked. ,We state unequivocally that most peo ple overcook fish There's no such thing as a tough fish. Effortless swim ming develops no fish mus cles. Fish needs cooking only long enough to develop the flavor, coagulate the protein Only overcooked fish is flav orless, dry, tough or rubbery. Many people thoroughly en joy fish in restaurants; are often critical of home-cooked fish and properly so. Restaur ants have "fish" cooks who are skilled in cooking it just enough to enable the flesh to be flaked easily from the bones leaving the fish moist and tender. You too can do it. " , Fish Variety I Through the year at least 180 edible varieties of fish are available in local markets. They come fresh, quick froz en, canned, smoked and dried to give menu variety at rea sonable cost. Resolve now to look over varieties displayed in local fish markets; give family new taste treats. ' Basic Fish Cookery There are five basic meth olds of fish cookery: baking, broiling, pan-frying, steaming and poaching. You can also oven-fry and French-fry and make many a fine specialty. How to Bak Fish. Use fil lets, steaks or large whole fish, dressed. Place in butter ed, shallow baking pan. Baste with melted butter seasoned with salt, peppr, lemon juice and minced onion. Bake at 350 degrees 10 to 12 minutes for fillets, 20 to 25 minutes for steaks or small fish, about 40 minutes for large fish. How to Boil Fish. Place fillets or steaks in pre-heated broiler (on aluminum foil is good idea) two to three inch es from heat source. Broil fillets about 10 minutes with out turning; steaks or whole fish five to eight minutes on each side, basting with melt ' ed butter seasoned with salt, pepper and if you wish, chop ped dill pickle, minced onion or dried savory. How to Pan-Fry Fish. Dip fillets, steaks or small whole fish in egg beaten with .two tablespoons beer or cold wa ter. Coat with fine dry bread crumbs seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika. Fry over moderate heat in" skillet con taining melted butter or short ening to cover bottom well. Allow three to five minutes on each side. How to Poach Fish. Place fillets or steaks in skillet with boiling water that barely cov ers fish. Season with parsley, celery, onion, peppercorns or lemon juiceSimmer, covered, until easily flaked with fork 10 minutes or, less. How to Steam Fish. Use large whole fish or steaks. Fill deep saucepan or Dutch oven with twb inches water adding seasoning as for poach ing. When water boils, place fish wrapped in cheescloth on rack above water level in pan. Cover tightly and let water simmer to steam fish about 10 minutes. How to Oven-Fry Fish. Pre pare fish as for pan-frying. Place side-by-side in buttered, shallow baking pan. Dot with butter. Bake in preheated 525 degree oven 15 to 20 minutes or until easily flaked with fork. If desired add dried rosemary, grated cheese, minced onion or dry mustard to crumbs. How to French-Fry Fish. Use scallops, shrimp or small -whole fillets. t Prepare as for pan-frying or use a fritter batter. Drop seafood, a few piecs at a time, into deep fat heated to 375 degrees for -"V-v- three to five minutes. Drain on absorbent? paper, Ik A 7- .'.''W Chack Lemon Supplies. The Lenton season with its menu emphasis on fish and shell fish put lemons on the buy ing list more often. Generous wedges are favored as ac companiment. Spanish Fish Pie Is Lenten Treat The Spanish call this "pas tel de pescado". It is a great favorite with them, and hav ing made it, we realize why For six generous servings use IVz . pounds fish fillets Mashed potatoes line casser ole. 3 tablespoons olive 'or salad oil V4 cup slivered almonds 1 cup chopped onions 4 cups diced fresh tomatoes Garlic salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon paprika IVi pounds fish fillets 4 cups seasoned mashed pota Heat oil irt a large sauce pan. Add almonds and fry until golden. Remove and set aside. Add onions and saute until limp and transparent. Add tomatoes, garlic salt and black pepper. Cook 10 min utes, stirring frequently. Mince and mash one-quarter of the fish. Cut the remain ing fish in one inch piecs. Add both to tomato mixture along with the almonds. Cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Line bottom and sides of Wi quart greased casserole with some of the mashed potatoes. Fill with tomato and fish mixture. Ring top with remaining mashed potatoes, swirling attractive ly. Bake in preheated moder ate oven, 375 degres, until potatoes brown. Garnish with paprika. Paprika, Red Jewel Of Spic Family Radiant red paprika is to all light colored foods what lipstick is to a glamour girl's face; a bright focal point- of allure, a cosmetic in spice. It has eye appeal. Fourth in pop ularity in the spice parade, America's paprika consum tion exceeds 10 million pounds a year. Much of it goes into canned and proces sed foods. Today we get pap rika from Spain and Cali fornia. Paprika enlivens all sorts of potato and egg dishes, cot tage cheese and creamed soups and sauces. It adds lilt when dashed over a green salad. It gives rosy tinge to gelatine salads. Stirred into the batter of fried chicken it makes for a rich toasty gold en color. It enhances fish and shellfish, stews, gravies and casseroles, mashed potatoes and cheese rarebits. Fish Garnishes Are Important The importance of garnish es cannot be over-emphasized when it comes to fish serving. A dash of color or a touch of garnish adds drama, color, texture. We suggest these: Cooked whole or sliced beets . . . Carrot tops, sticks, curls or shreds . . . Celery tops, hearts, sticks or curls . . . Green or red pepper sticks or rings . . . Cucumber slices or sticks . . . Hard-cooked eggs in slices, wedges or grated yolks . . . Lemon slices or wedges . . . Lettuce leaves or shredded lettuce. . .Pap rika sprinkled sparingly. . . Parsley or watercress, either in sprigs or chopped . . . Whole, sliced or chopped pickles ... Radishes, whole, sliced or roses. Vegetable Plates The Lenten season brings vegetables plates to the table more often. Choose vegetables for variety in color, flavor and texture. Cook them quick1 ly to retain full nutritive values; then season them in terestingly. Tomato cheese rarebit on toast points, buttered aspar agus and a cloe slaw with sour cream dressing. Green peppers stuffed with macaroni ' and cheese, with tuna or salmon; pickled beets, green beans with dried onion flakes or chopped onion.

They say my NULADE Spanish omelets are out of this world. I m also rather strong for a girl; the fellows all call me "Muscles." I like to watch TV wrestling and know a lot of holds. The other day coming from the store, a boy I like was teasing me and I dropped and cracked a dozen NULADE eggs. It made me so mad I put an Indian death hold on him and made him eat them right there. .Vow lie won't speak to me. CONFUSED. DEAR CONFUSED: Most boys like their NULADE eggs iried, scrambled, or as the case may be, in Spanish omelets. Even though you dropped the NULADE eggs and cracked them, that's no excue fsor losing your temper. For goodness' sake, keep those muscles up your sleeve. You'll have plenty of opportunity to use them after you are married. Invite that young man over for one of your special omelets. Someday you may be fixing him a daily breakfast of local farm-fresh NULADE eggs. . CONFIDENTIAL: You owe it to your omelet to use NULADE eggs. If your grocer doesn't have them, ask him to call Oregon Egg Producers, SPring 2-2621.
