Low In Cost
: Basically, fishes are cheaper
to comparison with other high
! protein foo(k riecc drey raise
J and feed Themselves and don't
require the attention of a faim-
cr or rancher. This means the j
fisherman can limit his invest-
ment to harvesting and process-
ing equipment, without the
added financial burdens i m -
posed by land. feed, and en-
vironment needs, and can pas
the savfngs directly «o the con-
sumer.
Comparatively, fishes are
lower in price man other high
pvoicin food items. Fillets,
portions, sticks, and most can-
ned fish, have no bon os and
little or no waste. Fish steaks
have only a small piece of
back !<one.
Fish goes well with plentiful,
low-cost foods. Mix fish in
soups, diowdets, or casseroles
or jnst serve it with other foods.
Fish can be prepared in many
ways by using low cost but tasty
spices Mid seasonings.
