Seafood was on both 

 the menu and the agenda 

 when the Southeastern 

 District Extension 

 Homemakers met April 

 1 in Carteret County. 

 Over 800 extension 

 homemakers from a 17-county area 

 heard Frank Thomas, NCSU exten- 

 sion seafood specialist, discuss how to 

 buy and preserve fresh Seafood. Joyce 

 Taylor, Sea Grant's seafood technician 

 at the NCSU Seafood Laboratory, 

 showed several new ways to prepare 

 seafood and had samples of 

 bouillabaisse, clam bake, deviled crab 

 with flaked fish, and fish flakes and 

 macaroni salad on hand for tasting and 

 testing. 



Surf fishing, trawling 

 and tasting unusual 

 seafoods are just a few of 

 the activities planned for 

 a workshop for teenagers 

 this summer. Sponsored 

 by the 4-H Marine 

 Awareness Program, the workshop will 

 concentrate on marine resources and 

 will include field trips and programs 

 with the Division of Marine Fisheries, 

 NCSU Seafood Lab and N. C. Marine 

 Resources Center at Bogue Banks. 



The summer workshop will be held 

 August 8-13 at Mitchell 4-H Camp in 



Swansboro. Registration is open to 

 high school juniors and seniors and to 

 graduating seniors who have not en- 

 tered college. The fee for the week-long 

 workshop is $125, with a $50 deposit 

 due upon registration. The deadline for 

 registration is July 1. 



For more information on the 

 workshop and registration, contact

 University, Raleigh, N.C. 27650 (919)
