MARKET FORMS OF FISH

Fresh and frozen fish may be bought in a variety of cuts, the more
important of which are shown here. Knowing the cuts and their
particular uses is important in buying or selling fish. The edible
portion varies with the type of cut, from 100 percent for fillets to about
45 percent for whole fish.

Whole or round fish are those marketed
just as they come from the water. In
this form, the edible portion is about 45
percent of the whole, but varies with size
and kind of fish, To prepare for cooking,
fish should be scaled and eviscerated and,
if desired, head, tail, and fins should be
removed. Fish then may be used for
baking, or may be sliced, filleted, or cut
into steaks or chunks. Small fish, like
smelt, are often cooked with only the en-
trails removed.

Drawn fish are those marketed with only
the entrails removed. In this form, the
edible portion is about 48 percent, but
varies with size and kind of fish. To
prepare for cooking, they are generally
scaled. Head, tail, and fins may be
removed, if desired, and the fish split,
filleted, or cut into steaks or chunks.

Dressed fish are scaled and eviscerated,
usually with the head, tail, and fins re-
moved. Edible portion in this form is
about 67 percent, but varies with size and
kind of fish. The smaller sizes are ready
for cooking as purchased (pan dressed).
The larger sizes may be baked as pur-
chased or may be cut into fillets, steaks,
or chunks.

MARKET FORMS OF SHELLFISH

Some shellfish are marketed alive. Other market forms, depending
on the variety, include cooked whole in the shell, fresh meat (shucked),
headless, and cooked meat.

In shell: Shellfish, such as hard and soft
blue crabs, lobsters, clams, and oysters
should be alive if bought fresh in the shell.
Crabs and lobsters may also be cooked in
the shell. Edible portion varies widely.

Shucked: Clam, oyster, and scallop meats
may be bought free of the shell, commonly
known as shucked. In this form the por-
tion is 100 percent edible.

Steaks are cross-section slices of the larger
sizes of dressed fish, usually about % of an
inch thick. In this form the edible por-
tion is about 84 percent. Steaks are
ready to cook as purchased.

Fillets are the sides of fish cut away from
the backbone. They are practically
boneless and have little or no waste.
Fillets are ready for cooking. The skin
may be left on or may be removed. A
fillet cut from one side of a fish is called
a single fillet. This is the type most
generally seen in the market.

Butterfly fillets are the two sides of the
fish corresponding to two single fillets
held together by the uncut flesh and skin
of the belly.

Sticks are pieces of fish cut lengthwise or
crosswise from fillets into portions of uni-
form width and length, usually about 1
inch wide and 3 inches long.

Headless: Only the tail part of shrimp is
commonly marketed. Spiny-lobster tails
are also a common market form. About
85 percent is edible.

Cooked meat: The edible portion is
picked from the cooked shellfish. Crab,
shrimp, and lobster meat is marketed in
this way. Cooked meat is perishable,
although packaged in containers, since it
is not further processed by heat. It is
100 percent edible.
