SALMON TINNED "WITH THE WIGGLE IN THEIR TAILS": - -their rich, red flesh, fresh from the sea to the cannery. When you're wondering what to get for lunch or tea, remember salmon, served hot with parsley sauce. AH Grocers sell Golden Net Brand (riHh, red) Cohoe salmon. Pine Tree is a cheaper reliable brand. Don't take "just as good"— there isn't any. —.3
