i KISH
j Fi.sh ought to he the cheape.-^t of all
fcxals, instead of being one of the most
expensive, as it is in all large cities
and in towns away from the eommer-
eial fisheries. It is one focal crop which ^
require.s no planting or cultivation.
The i-eason for the high cost is thej
perishable natuiv of fish and the ex-j
penso of keeping it iced. Experiments
with the ciuick freezing of fish by
eai'lnm dioxide snow or “dry ice” indi-l
cate that the flavor can be preserved j
and deterioration prevented in a way]
which makes the cost of handling 1|
and shipping much lower than pre
viously.
Before long fresh fish of the most
popular food varieties will be avail-;
1 able everywhere at a coat to compete |
with nu?at. But no fish ever bought in;|
a market tastes half so good as the
ones you caUh yourself!
