Summary:

Fixin' Fish was first published in 1984. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. Whether you catch it yourself or buy it, fish can be a delicious, nutritious meal or an experience you'd rather forget. Because fish are delicate and perishable, preserving their fresh-caught flavor requires careful handling.
