Extract

What are the nutritive qualities of fish, compared with other kinds of animal food? Do different species of fish differ materially in degree in nutritive power? Have fish, as food, any peculiar or special properties? These are questions, amongst many others, which may be asked, but which, in the present state of our knowledge, I apprehend it would be difficult to answer in a manner at all satisfactory.

On the present occasion, I shall attempt little more than an opening of the inquiry, and that directed to a few points,—chiefly those alluded to in the foregoing queries.
