THURSDAY. Feeding the Family By ZOLA Food Time to Co Fiihlng for Ejcciting Nw Manu Items Among Swimfiih, Shellfiih The Lenten season throws the spotlight i,n fish and shell fish; a veritable gold mine of good nutrition, infinite va riety, superb eating at sur prisingly small cost. Our west ern waters harbor perhaps 120 varieties. They come to consumers fresh, quick-frozen, iced, salted, smoked and canned. Thanks to modern meth ods, all are processed to re tain that fine fish flavor and texture which have subtle variations from species to species. First canning, then freezing processes opened up undreamed possibilities for marketing the denizens of fresh and salt waters. All are readily available the year round but it takes the 40 days of Lent to really throw the spotlight on these delectables, Freih or Frosen There is always great va riety in the fresh fish and shell fish section; even great cr variety in the frozen sec tion displays. Fresh fish of course must be used quickly. Frozen fish will keep as long as it remains solidly frozen. Once frozen fish thaws, it should be used immediately. Never refreeze fish after it thaws. Fresh and frozen fish and shellfish may be used inter changeably in all recipes. Fro zen fillets, steaks and dressed fish need not be thawed be fore cooking. But you must allow extra cooking time if the fish isn't thawed. If you plan to bread or stuff fish, it is easier to handle if the fish is thawed first. Fresh or frozen, allow one third to one-half pound of edi ble fish per serving. Allow one pound per serving when baking whole fish. Fillet of Sol Has PickU Sauce Via find that sweet gher kins make a zingy sauce for fillet of sole and the sum of these two provide great eat ing for a meatless meal dur ing Lent. You may prefer to use spicy sweet mixed pick les, robust - flavored dills, sweet fresh cucumber pickles or pickle relish. You're cer tain to have several of these handy. Six servings. ' 2 pounds fresh or frozen and thawed fillet of sole Salt, pepper and paprika S tablespoons butter or margarine 2 tablespoons slivered almonds 2 teaspoons cornstarch 3 tablespoons lemon juice 2-3 cup sliced sweet gherkins 1 6-ounce can sliced mush rooms or '4 pound fresh mushrooms, saute'd 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento Sprinkle sole with salt, pep pev and paprika.

Mis cornstarch with lemon Juice; stir into almond butter mixture. Add gher kins, undrained mushrooms and pimiento; cook and stir until sauce bubbles and thick ens. Pour over broiled sole. Here we give zest to a Lenten dish with dill pickles enlivening macaroni cheese dinner (packaged), minced clams (canned) and hard-cooked crrs. Might as well do it the modern way. Here are eight servings for maybe five hungry persons. 2 14-ounce packages macaroni cheese dinner 2 rugs, beaten 2 7 2-ounce cans minced clams 2 3 cup chopped dill pickles U cup dill pickle liquid 4 hard-cooked eggs i"' ' F a.

Lemon Tricks That Give Zest to Fish Fish or shellfish without the refreshing zest of lemon wedges andor lemon Juice is unthinkable. They belong together. When serving fish with lemon, be sure lemon is cut into wedges for easy squeezing and handling. When it comes to lemon Juice, the average lemon yields about two tablespoons of juice. Hub fish with fresh lem on just before cooking; gives added flavor and removes "fishy" odor. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over seafood sal ads for flavor and freshness. Seafood canape and sandwich fillings need dash of fresh lemon Juice. When poaching fish, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to each quart of water. For any fish not rich In fat, try lemon butter. It's fine basting for barbecued fish. For creamed fish dishes, particularly those using can ned fish, sprinkle generously with fresh lemon Juice for extra flavor. After preparing fish, re move odors from hands by rubbing them with salt and lemon Juice just before wnsh ing. Baked beans, long held in high esteem, are one of the oldest, most versatile of foods. They go any place and with almost anything. Fruit particularly combines well with canned pork and beans. Here we combine them with canned sliced peaches for six fine servings. In skillet, lightly brown one-half cup diced cooked ham In two tablespoons but ter. Add two one-pound cans pork and beans with tomato sauce, one cup drained sliced peaches, one tablespoon brown sugar and a dash of ground cloves. Heat; stirring now and then. Heated canned brown bread or any of the quick-mix cornbreads or muffins are super with this.
