Difficulties in storing fish

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent. Home Ec There has been some concern about the presence of toxic chemicals in fish caught in the Great Lakes. The Michigan Department of Public Health has stated that carp, catfish, salmon (Coho and Chinook) and trout (Brounlake and Steelhead) may contain polychlorinated biphenyes (PCB). The pesticide, dieldrin, may be found in whitefish. This includes fish found in the Great Lakes and in any tributaries which flow into the Great Lakes. It is recommended that children, pregnant or lactating women or women who are planning to bear children should not eat these fish. Other people should limit consumption to one meal per week. Regardless of your fish variety or source, follow these recommendations for preserving. Only fresh fish should be canned and these should be bled and thoroughly cleaned when caught or as soon as possible. Wash the cleaned fish well in fresh water. Split the fish. Leave the backbone in small fish, remove it from large ones. For canning, place fish in brine made by adding one-half pound salt to one gallon water. Soak 10 minutes before packing. A pressure canner is a must for canning fish. Home-canned fish are right up among the frontrunner in the botulism sweepstakes. Add to this that in general they are the most perishable of all fresh foods and have great density of texture, and you can see why fish require faultless handling and longer pressure-processing than do other foods that are canned at home. For ideal results, freeze fish as soon as possible after they’re caught. Or at least within 24 hours, and keep them packed in ice in the refrigerator while

discussed upcoming projects with the club and plans were made for the many events the group will be involved in during the summer. JoLene Hum presented the program on photography and also took the group picture. On June 2, a cabbage party was held at the home of Susie Williams. The group, including 14 members and children, pitched in to cut cabbage for cole slaw, make brownies, prepare butter and bread and make signs for the

waiting. Flavor — protecting dips are used to maintain quality during freezing. Fat fish — mackerel, pink salmon, ocean perch, smelt, herring, lake trout, flounder, shad and tuna — are more perishable than the leaner varieties. They are given a 20 second dip in an ascorbic acid solution —two teaspoons crystalline ascorbic acid dissolved in one quart of cold water — to lessen the chance of rancidity and flavor change during storage. Store no longer than three months in the freezer. Lean fish — cod, haddock, halibut, yellow pike, yellow perch, fresh-water herring, Coho; King and red salmon — are dipped for 20 seconds in a brine of one cup salt to one gallon of cold water. This firms the flesh and reduces leakage when the fish thaws. Store up to six months in the freezer. If you have questions regarding fish, contact your local County Extension Office. Pressure Canner Testing Now is the time to check your steam pressure canner to be sure the gauge is accurate. Dial pressure gauges will be tested, Monday, June 13, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Extension Office, Courthouse basement, Warsaw. For the test, bring the lid only of your pressure canner. The test takes about 15 minutes and there is a small charge. Make sure your dial gauge is accurate before you begin preserving food. Oily cutter By dipping a cookie cutter in slightly warm salad oil you get a much cleaner cut. This works especially well with plastic cutters. Sticky cake When a cake has cooled and is stuck to the pan, reheat the cake in the oven briefly. If it’s still not loose, place a damp towel on the pan and let it sit for a while.
