How Many Signi Advertise
Fish Thai Aren't Fresh?
Whether true or false, the i
sign will always read "fresh
fish." No one would advertise
seafood as stale, for fresh
ness in sea food is a necessity.
Old age in nearly any type of
sea food is but a matter of a
little time. Even an interval
of half an hour can often turn
some sea foods into an article
unfit for human consumption.
There are some sea animals
that can, under certain condi
tions, become actually poison
ous if they die too long before
they are cooked for food.
The lobster, crawfish and
some of their relatives deter
iorate very rapidly after
death. It is a wise housewife
who can definitely tell just
when these foods are safely
fresh.
Meticulously Packed
Fishermen who make their
living selling lobsters have
perfected a method of packing
the animals alive in a cushion
of seaweed and cracked, ice.
By this arrangement the lob
sters reach the consumer alive
and in a semi-active state,
even after a long trip to a dis
tant city.
If a housewife can see the
lobster move she will know
for sure it is alive and there
fore fresh. But what about
those that are brought to our
table already cooked? Even
here there is a fairly accurate
way to determine the fresh
ness. If the cooked seafood
has a strong odor, similar to
ammonia, the chances are
pretty good that the poor crit
ter died some time before it
was plunged into hot, cooking
water.
Eyes Can Speak
Many people can judge the
lapse of time between the re
moval of a fish from the sea
' and its appearance in the fry
ing pan by the eyes of the fish.
Usually, deep set eyes indi
cate the fish has been out of
its natural element for some
time. Some folks claim that
the eyes of a fish long dead
will have more of a glassy
look; even more so than the
naturally fishy eye, which is
always staring.
The best method, however,
would seem to be the finger
presure method. Press a fin
ger firmly on the fish's body
and observe how rapidly the
depression made by the pres
sure of the finger returns to
normal. The quicker this hap
pens, the fresher the fish, pro
viding the fish is not frozen
so hard that the finger leaves
no depression.
Seafood is a beneficial and
healthful food, probably very
necessary to the continued
well-being of all of us. Sea
food contains elements not
found in meats or vegetables
and contributes a large
amount of vitamins and min
erals that go to make up a
well balanced diet.
Brain Food?
However, the old belief that
fish is brain food is all fiction
and no fact. There appears to
be no scientific basis for be
lieving that the more fish we
eat the more intelligent we
will be. If this were true, the
porpoise, sea lion, seagull and
pelican should all be intellec
tual giants. We certainly
wouldn't want any such thing
to happen for it would deal
our human ego such a wallop
that we would never get over
it.
Nevertheless, the brain food
idea in connection with eating
fish has persisted and there
are a number of people that
still believe it. It would be as
reasonable to presume that
cornmeal is fingernail food
or that a confirmed celery
eater would never be both
ered with any kind of ner
vous trouble.
Generous amounts of sea
food, eaten cooked or even
raw, will never take the place
of a high school education,
but if it is fresh it will con
tribute a delightful taste
thrill and lend its bit to the
healthful building of your
body.
