Glorious Fish Abundance!

Sue and I were talking about all the fish we ate as Catholic kids--how every Friday mom would take a fishy milk carton from the freezer and it would sit there, on the counter, sweating and melting in time for that weeks' at-home fish fry.

This photo (had to be 30-40 fish on that string!!) was in Sues' stack...and the third guy was mostly a glare. (THIS is what photo-editing programs were MADE for! )

Comparing this pic with another one Sue sent, we think it was taken around 1932. The man in the middle could have been Joe Suess' buddy Sitzman, because he's sitting next to Joe in another photo. Still, it's a mystery!

Trivia, here:
Do you remember having your throat blessed at church every February? The crossed candles held to your throat while the priest made the sign of the cross over your head? That was the feast of St Blaise, patron of throat diseases...lol I always connected it with fish bones.
St Blaise was good, but boiled potatoes worked immediately, and better....
