The fish most useful to man is, perhaps, the cod, and it is one of the most prolific of the denizens of the sea. As an article of diet —whether fresh, or salted and dried —it is a most important addition to our food supplies. The tongue is regarded as a delicacy, and the liver gives us the oil which is so much recommended as a tonic and a food. The Norwegians give cods' heads, mixed with marine plants, to cows to increase their yield of milk; the Icelanders give the bones to their cattle; in Kamtchatka dogs are fed on them; and in icy wastes codfish are frequently dried and used as fuel.
