Subject: Looking for Jewel Pancake Mix.
Hi,
My dad remembers a pancake mix sold by Jewel food stores in Chicago
in the 1960's. He says it was by far the best mix he'd ever had. I haven't
been able to find it anywhere. We would appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks,
John
Hello John,
I found mentions of Jewel Pancake & Waffle Mix on these sites:
Shopwell
Shop Local
However, I could not find whether or not it had been discontinued. It looks as though it may be a store brand sold by Jewel-Osco Grocery Stores. The Jewel-Osco grocery chain is found only in Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana

Trout Amandine Longfellow
Fillet a two-pound trout*, remove the skin, and marinate the fillets for a few minutes
in butter, paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Rub crushed almonds into
the meat on both sides. Place the fillets on a buttered broiler plate, and broil under
a medium fire, turning once. They're done when the meat flakes easily with a fork.
Don't overcook.
Pour over the trout a sauce made of equal parts butter, Sauterne, and lemon juice.
Sprinkle with toasted almonds
Note: Toasted pecans, chopped, can be substituted for almonds in these amandine
recipe, and the resulting sauce is delicious.
* The trout used here was salt-water speckled trout, not common fresh-water trout.
Substitutions: Haddock, redfish, flounder, or pompano fillets are delicious when
cooked amandine.

Subject: Fishers Tartar Sauce
Years ago there was a restraint in the Town & Country market on 3rd st
and Fairfax Blvd LA called Fishers Hamburgers. Their specialty was real
halibut fish and chips and a tartar sauce to die for.
Does anyone have the recipe for the tartar sauce?
Thanks,
Marc
Hello Marc,
I had no success with this. Fisher’s may have reopened at some point as “Cleopatra’s Fisher’s Hamburgers” at 6332 W 3rd St # 16,
which is mentioned on several dining advisor sites. However, there are no details about it, and it may have closed again.
I’ll post this on the site. A reader might know something about the tartar sauce.
