Fresh Fish Frozen, Fine, Say Specialists Washington, March 6.—More Ameri cans would enjoy fish if they would get the kind that is frozen hard as soon as they are drawn from the deep, cool sea. This method of freez ; ing fish, then sealing in a Jacket of | ice, hardly before the wiggle Is out of their tails, preserves the fine flavor j of fresh fish, say specialists of tho i Bureau of Chemistry, United States j Department of Agriculture, after I studying the subject of how to get flsh to the consumer in the best of condition. If th e retailer turns up his nose and says scornfully, "We never carry any cold storage flsh," just have him order a few pounds of hard frozen j flsh from his wholesaler. Have him get the right kinds—fine bloater mackerel (not Spanish), weakiish, whiting or jierring. There is a large supply of hard frozen flsh of these kinds, accumulated to provide for war needs but not yet used, say depart ment specialists, nnd they sell for considerably less than the unfrozen winter-time supply. This Is not be cause the unfrozen fish are better, the specialists say, but because the I frosen flsh were caught in the late summer when the schools are large and are fat and plentiful.
