Seafood – What to choose?

Seafood is a name that includes both fish (white and oily varieties) and shellfish such as mussels, crustaceans such as prawns, crabs, lobsters, and also squid. For further details on individual seafood species, go to www.fish.gov.au

Fish can be purchased whole or cut. As with meat, there are a number of different fish cuts, e.g. fillet, cutlet, goujon (or fingers), which lend themselves to a variety of cooking methods. If you prefer to fillet the fish yourself go to www.fish.gov.au for step-by-step advice.
