IDENTIFICATION OF FISH

For rapid inspection, it must be possible to distinguish - at a glance - the various kinds of fish used in catering.

A few important areas of identification are:
A quality fin
A quality eye
• shape • colouring
• fins • markings
• gills  
SEASONS
Supplies of fish are subject to weather conditions and to the fact that shoals vary their positions at different times of the year. Therefore the fish that are in season all the year round may not be available everywhere.
