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. Pot with
two tablespoons butter and
broil 2 inches from source of
heat six to 10 minutes until
easily flaked with fork.
Meanwhile, saute almonds in
remaining butter until gold
en brown. 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.

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.
