Pep Up Your Lenten Menus With Chef’s Tricks in Cooking Fish IT’S easy to be a strict conformist to Lenten menu restrictions and win high praise from the family for tempting menu variety, if you mas ter a few chef’s tricks in the mat ter of fish serving. To begin with, you will always be sure of fish with real ocean-fresh flavor, no matter how far from the surfline you live, if you use the quick-frozen variety. Ail chores of preparation are done for you, and it comes to you all cleaned, boned and filleted, with all its tangy freshness sealed in by quick-freezing within four hours after it is landed on the docks. Such shore favorites as quick frozen red perch and quick-frozen cod are delicious served boiled, baked, broiled, or fried. You can rely on various seasonings and gar nishings to give distinctive variety to these basic cooking methods. Tartare sauce is a natural affinity for fried fish, and can be easily made by adding chopped pickle and other ingredients to mayonnaise. Egg sauce—hard-cooked eggs sliced or diced in white sauce — is the classic accompaniment *or boiled fish. When you bake fish, the addi tion of canned tomato, onion, green peppers or carrots gives additional Interest to the dish. With broiled fish, one of the butter sauces is vsualiy served. Lemon parsley but ter, made by creaming 4 table sp jons of butter, with two to ’mmsa* aw i three tablespoons of lemon Juice and 4 tablespoons of minced parsley, is a zestful addition to any broiled fish. Spread it gently on the fish as it comes piping hot from the oven. Lemon, in slices or lengthwise sec tions, and crisp parsley are appe tizing garnishes. Broiled Fillets of Red Perch Separate fillets; brush with mix ture of melted butter, paprika, salt, and pepper. Broil on well-greased broiler 10 to 15 minutes, turning to brown both sides. Cod Baked with Tomato Sauce 2 packages quick-frozen fillet of cod 2 tablespoons chopped onion 2 tablespoons finely diced celery I 2 tablespoons shredded green pepper 4 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon flour 1-1/2 cups canned tomatoes 1/2 teaspoon salt Dash of pepper 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 bay leaf 1 tablespoon chopped celery Cut fillets (frozen or thawed) in to servings and place in buttered shallow baking dish. Sautd onion, celery, and green pepper in butter until tender; add flour and mix well. Add remaining ingredients and cook slowly 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour over fish and bake in hot oven (450°F.) 25 ; to 30 minutes, or until fish is ten der.
