LESSON LXX

FISH (B)

FRESHNESS OF FISH.—Fish is a food which spoils very quickly, and which is dangerous to eat if not fresh. For this reason the housekeeper should be able to judge of the freshness of fish. In fresh fish:

(a) The flesh is firm and elastic, especially along the backbone.

(6) The gills are bright.

(c) The eyes are bright and bulging.
