The document provides information on basic concepts in food fish processing, including that there are over 28,000 known fish species classified by their habitat and anatomy, and describes the proper handling and forms of raw fish from cleaning and filleting whole fish to cutting fillets and steaks. It also discusses factors that cause fish to spoil quickly and recommends storing fresh fish 1-2 days and cooked fish up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

What defines a fish? Fish are vertebrates, animals with backbones. Most are cold-blooded animals that live in either ❑ fresh water or ❑ sea water. They have fins and breathe using gills. Many have scales. How Many Types of Fish do we have? ❑There are almost 28,000 known extant species, ❑ of which almost 27,000 are bony fish, ❑with 970 sharks, rays, and chimeras and about ❑108 hagfish and lampreys. What is the scientific name for fish? ❑ Osteichthyes-(aa·stee·ik·thee·eez) is the Latin name of the bony fish class.
❑ Chondrichthyes-(kaan·drik·theez) is the Latin name of the
cartilaginous fish class.
❑ Acanthodei-(aˌkanˈthōdēˌī,) is the Latin name of the class of
extinct fishes that share features both with bony and cartilaginous fishes. What is the Classification of Fish based on Habitat? ❑rocky shores, ❑ coral reefs, kelp forest, ❑ rivers and streams, ❑ lakes and ponds, ❑under sea ice, ❑the deep sea, and other environments of fresh, salt, and brackish water. Some fish are pelagic or oceanic they live in the open ocean. Which fish is the king of fish? Salmon is called the king of fish. With its steely, silver skin, as shiny as King Arthur's armor, it even looks the part. What Fish is most Expensive to Eat? A bluefin tuna has been sold for three quarters of a million dollars in Tokyo. Why Bluefin Tuna is so Expensive? One factor that makes bluefin tuna so expensive is the low of supply and demand, or as The Atlantic cleverly describes it-"sushi omics." To put it bluntly, there's only so much bluefin tuna in the ocean. All three species of the bluefin are overfished and the fish don't breed in captivity. ❑ Whole or round fish - are sold just as they come from the water. They must be scaled and eviscerated- or gutted before cooking. If the head is left on, the fish must be gilled. The edible yield is about 45 percent. ❑ Drawn fish- have been eviscerated. They must be scaled and, if the head is left on, must be gilled. The edible portion is about 48 percent. ❑ Dressed fish - are ready to cook, usually with head, tail and fins removed. The edible portion is about 67 percent. ❑ Fillets - are the sides of the fish cut away from the backbone and are ready to cook. They are usually boneless, with no waste. ❑ Steaks- are ready-to-cook, cross-sectional slices of large fish. The edible yield is about 86 percent. ❑ Sticks- are uniform cuts from blocks of frozen fillets. Dressing a Round Fish 1.Place fish on a flat surface. With a fish scaler or dull side of a knife, scrape off scales, moving from tail to head. 2. Remove the head and pectoral fins by cutting through the fish at a 45-degree angle just behind the head. 3. Cut the entire length of the belly from head to tail. 4. Remove viscera and all black membranes and blood, particularly the blood streak running along the backbone. Cut around pelvic fins and remove them. Rinse fish well with attention to cavity under cold, running water. Filleting a Round-Bodied Fish 1.Scale the fish. At the pectoral fin, just behind the head, cut into flesh at a 45-degree angle toward the head until your knife reaches the backbone. 2.Turn the knife and follow backbone to the tail, keeping the knife against the backbone. Or, if you prefer, reverse this and cut from the tail to the head. Turn fish over and repeat on the other side. 3. Rinse the fillet well under cold, running water. Filleting a Flat-Bodied Fish 1.Scale the fish. Cut down to the backbone at a 45-degree angle just behind the head. 2.Make a cut from nape to tail along each side of the backbone. Slide knife along the backbone to loosen the fillet. Turn fish over and repeat on the other side. 3. You may leave fish as two fillets or cut each in half lengthwise to make four fillets. Rinse well under cold, running water.

B.)Give the market forms of fish
Skinning a Fillet With skin side down, hold tail of fillet. Slide knife between skin and flesh. With the blade almost horizontal, pull the skin taut as you draw the blade toward the large end of the fillet. Fish Spoilage
What are the main causes of fish spoilage?
Fish Spoilage results from: ❑ Enzymatic autolysis-degrades the cell components like proteins, fats and thereby changes the flavor of fish. Fish Spoilage results from: ❑Oxidation- fish oil oxidation occurs when the omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil are exposed to heat, oxygen, or light. Fish Spoilage results from: ❑Microbial growth. ❑ Low temperature storage and chemical techniques for controlling water activity, enzymatic, oxidative and microbial spoilage are the most common in the industry today. Why do fish spoil easily? ❖ Fish spoil quickly because they are creatures of the water and therefore of the cold. ❖ Deep ocean water is only a few degrees above freezing, and surface waters seldom exceed 70 degrees. ❖So, fish spoil faster than meats, and fatty fish from cold waters spoil the fastest. What are the signs of food spoilage? Signs of food spoilage may include an appearance different from the food in its fresh form, such as a change in color, a change in texture, an unpleasant odor, or an undesirable taste. The item may become softer than normal. If mold occurs, it is often visible externally on the item. How long can fresh fish keep?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
recommends that you keep fresh fish, shrimp, scallops, and squid for just one to two days in the refrigerator. How long can you Keep Cooked Fish in Refrigerator? Your leftover fish should be safe to eat for an absolute maximum of up to 3 days after it has been cooked. The secret to leftover fish lasting up to 3 days after being cooked, is the QUALITY.
