Whole schools of smoke-kissed sea foods are streaming north, into the hinterland, and on to the West Coast, to Canada, to Cuba. going parcel post. by express, also on the Jack Rabbit line. The smoker is S. C Bennett, Jr., of Cocoa. Florida.
Bennett smokes about every swimmer that's edible—the barracuda, mullet, amber jack, swordfish, sailfish, blue Spanish mackerel, and shrimp—this last really the party pet. at ＄3 a pound.
Smoked mullet, as those who winter in Florida must know, is sold, usually warm, along the beaches, to cat in the hand. Driving home after a swim, the thing to do is buy a smoky or two and eat while you ride. If you can wait until you reach home, then break the “catch” into sizable pieces, lay them out on crackers or buttered bread, and enjoy with mugs of cold beer.
Fishermen know the barracuda as a big fellow and dangerous, called a maneating shark. The skin goes for leather, but the smoked meat is tender and sells for ＄1 a pound. One of the best eating fish in our tasting parcel was the smoked king. a steaking fish, ＄1 a pound.
Anyone interested in smoked fish for parties should write to S. G. Bennett. Jr. Bennetts Sea Food Market, Cocoa, Florida, and ask for his price list.
