How To Buy Fish
Look for a busy, clean store. Fish should look firm and taut and have solid flesh, glistening skin and clear eyes. Is there a crisp clean scent of salt and ice? Yes? Buy there. Foul or "fishy" smells? Don't buy there.
How Much is Enough
While we a believe that you can
never have enough seafood in your life, here is a more precise estimate, per main course serving:
Whole fish: 3/4 to 1 pound
Fillets and steaks: 5 to 8 ounces
Shrimp and scallops: 5 to 7 ounces, shelled
Clams and mussels: 3/4 pound
Oysters: 1 dozen Squid and octopus: 6 to 8 ounces
Lobster: 1 1/2 pounds in the shell
