Excerpt from How to Cook Fish: Recipes for Preparing Sea and Fresh Water Fish for the Table
Fish, as food, are by the great majority of the people underestimated. Now this is wrong! Fish constitute, according to the highest authorities of the present time, not only a wholesome and nourishing food for man, but fish-diet is even declared necessary for the welfare of the human body. According to recent researches made under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, a pound of Herring, Salmon or Whitefish is equal, in nourishing qualities, to a pound of the best fresh beef. In the presence of this fact, fish can not be looked upon as a luxury, and fish-culture has as important a mission to fulfill as cattle-raising.
When, in former ages, the learned monks set apart one day of each week for fish-diet, they, no doubt, understood the influence of fish-diet on the human system.
