They have hard outer shells.
Fin fish – fish with fins and internal skeletons A. Saltwater fish 1. Flatfish > Flounder > Sole 2. Round fish > Black sea bars > Bluefish > Cod > Grouper
B. Freshwater fish > Cat fish > Eel > Tilapia
2 Classifications of Shellfish A. Mollusks – are soft sea animals B. Crustaceans – are animals with segmented shells and jointed legs (shrimps & crabs) 2. Shell fish – fish with external shells but no internal bone structure. They have hard outer shells.

Composition and Structure Fish consists of: Water Protein Fats small amount of minerals and vitamins
Composition and Structure Fish has very little connective tissue . It means: 1. Fish cooks very quickly, even at low heat. 2. Fish is naturally tender. High heat will result to toughening of protein. 3. Moist-heat methods are used not to create tenderness but to preserve moistness and provide variety. 4. Cooked fish must be handled very carefully.
Fat fish -- are those that are high in fat . Example: Salmon Tuna Trout Mackerel 2 . Lean fish – are those that are low in fat . Example: Sole Cod Red Snapper Bass
Market Forms 1. Whole or round 2. Drawn 3. Dressed 4. Steaks 5. Fillets 6. Butterflied fillets 7. Sticks or tranches
Market Forms Whole or round – completely intact, as caught
Market Forms 2. Drawn – viscera removed
Market Forms 3. Dressed – viscera, scales, head, tail and fins removed
Market Forms 4. Steaks – cross-section slices, each containing a section of backbone
Market Forms 5. Fillets – boneless side of fish, with or without skin
Market Forms 6. Butterflied Fillets – both sides of a fish still joined, but with bones removed
Market Forms 7. Sticks or tranches – cross-section slices of fillets
Characteristics and Market forms of Shellfish Characteristics Mollusks Oysters have rough, irregular shells. Flesh of oyster is extremely soft and delicate and contains high percentage of water. Hard-shell clams – can be eaten raw
Characteristics Mollusks Soft-shell clams are called steamers. The usual way to cook is to steam. The shells of mussels are not as heavy as clamshells, yellow to orange in color and firm but tender when cooked. Scallops are creamy white in color and have a sweet flavor. Squid is somewhat chewy and are cut up or either fried quickly.
Characteristics of Crustaceans The lobster shell is dark green or bluish green but turns red when cooked. Live lobster must be alive when cooked. Market Forms Mollusks 1. live in the shell 2. shucked – fresh or frozen 3. canned Crustaceans 1. live 2. cooked meat, fresh or frozen
