Fish ephemera

From the Cooperative Extension service of the U.S.D.A. and the University of Massachusetts comes this little pamphlet called Kitchen Quotes for October of 1980 which was designated as fish month. There are three useful recipes and some outdated but interesting information. Without further ado here are the scans.

The cover of the pamphlet. I think the little chef is holding a pen and leaning on an ink bottle. The fish appears to be a sunfish also known as flatsides, bluegills, crappies, and locally as kibbies.

Click to be able to read the recipes. The baked stuffed haddock is always a favorite in local seafood joints around here.

When I was in college, the University's Marine Studies Dept. was pushing mussels as an underused seafood. They can be a little gritty if not cleaned thoroughly and can be a little rubbery to chew. On the other hand they taste very good.
