Kitchen lore has it that fish is good brain food. This is probably owing to the fact that fish contains all the elements of meat in an easily digested form, and is, therefore, more easily assimilated by the system and consequently especially good for people doing brain work or following other sedentary occupations. As a matter of fact, good fish properly prepared is always wholesome food for old and young, and particularly so in spring, after a season of "heavy" eating, as is usual in winter. The observance of Lent is therefore to be recommended, even to those who do not consider it a religious duty. The following recipes offer a nice variety in the way of fish food.
