NEW METHOD
EDO PRESERVING
EDIBLE FISH
Washington, Oct. 23—Anew method
of curing tish recently introduced in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, and being experi
mented with by one of the largest
shippers of tish in that city, promises
to revolutionize the entire tish indust
ry in the Maritime Provinces and in
other countries carrying on the indust
ry to any marked degree, writes our
Counsel at Halifax.
This method does away entirely with
the use of ice, salt, pickle or other pre
servatives and so perfectly7 preserves
the tish that two wepks after preserva
tiou, which is suffieent time for this
important food article to reach cities
in central United States, West Indies,
and some ports in South America, the
tish is in exactly the same state as
when it was drawn from its native
I water.
Previously it had been the practice
to salt and sun dry all tish to be preser
ved, or should they be intended for
nearby markets either ice them or
! ship in cars equipped with refrigerat
ing apparatus. The new method, it is
said, abolishes this slow and expensive
practice and enables the shipper to
| prepare quickly and inexpensively his
shipments in such a way that the pro
duct two weeks after shipment and in
I a foreign market would rival the high
1 ist quality of fresh tish. The process
i used is as follows:
“The fish are dumped into a tank
' holding sea water which has been lil
| tered through four cylinderlike tanks
containing willow charcoal and
screens to remove the noxious gases,
foreign substances. Next, brown
‘ sugar is placed in the tank holding the
| lish to serve as a germicide for such
organisms as may be active at freezing
temperature. Then, by refrigeration
the temperature lowered to 10 deg. C.
below zero, during which time 10.1
salt is added to prevent ice formation
l and to assist the formation of a thin
l protective coating over tba fish them
selves. Having allowed the fish to re
main in this treatment for two hours,
they are ready for shipment, removed
from the tank, and placed in the pack
age or barrel to await transportation
to market.
“This process is based on the theory
that putrefaction of the fish is first
caused by bone taint, due to the fact
that in the old methods of curing tish
the specific or animal heat is partially
left within the fish. The new method
which has been introduced here acts
as a preventive to bone taint,complete
ly removing the specific or animal
heat from the fish to be cured.”
Potlatch Next May
Seattle. Oct, 23—Those having
charge of the matter have decided to
hold the next annual Potlatch in May.
