Lemon Juice or Pickles Give Fish Better Flavor

Thanks to modern methods of canning, refrigeration and transportation, our finny friends may be bought in markets everywhere and served in hundreds of delectable dishes to bring new food flavor to t h e daily menu. When prepared well, no apologies are necessary for serving fish. It then isn't just another inexpensive way of giving the family their protein foods, but becomes a tasty meal in its own right.

Both dill and sweet pickles, chopped, impart a new flavor to fish when used in the stuffing. Rub lemon juice over fish to be baked, broiled or fried. Again and this is a trick worth knowing - a bit of lemon juice sprinkled on canned salmon or tuna before creaming or scalloping, brings out all the flavor of the fish. When making fish casseroles with leftover fish, or with the various kinds of canned fish, add India relish or chopped sweet mustard pickle for a zestful contrast in flavors.
