How do I know how much to buy?
Some of our fish is sold ready filleted - cod for example because most people are used to it that way, and anyway it's difficult to get a 30 to 40lb fish in a box. The following general rules may help...
1. With Shellfish like Lobsters and Crabs, allow about 1/2Kg per person. Either one small one or split a larger one.
2. Round Fish such as Cod, Pollack or Whiting allow 6 to 8oz about 200grms per portion of filleted fish
3. Flat Fish is usually slightly less say 5 to 7oz about 180grms of fillet.
If you cook your fish whole allow roughly double the weight.
Another way of deciding
1. 1Kg of filleted fish would give you app 6 X 6oz portions, or 4 X 9oz portions
2. 1Kg of whole fish will give you 2 or 3 portions depending on the type of fish.
I'm not a chef and my portions would certainly be bigger, depends how greedy you are.
Most fish can be filleted and will yield about 50% of the weight in fillet, however if you cook it on the bone, Turbot for example, you will get 5-10% more flesh off it.
