Name parts of the fish you eat?
Here are some common parts of a fish you might eat, along with some examples:
Main Body Parts:
* Fillets: The boneless, skinless side of the fish, often cut into portions. (Ex: Salmon fillets, Cod fillets)
* Steaks: Cross-section slices of fish, including the bones. (Ex: Tuna steaks, Swordfish steaks)
* Whole Fish: The entire fish, head, bones, and all. (Ex: Grilled Whole Sea Bass, Baked Whole Trout)
* Head: The head of the fish, sometimes used for stock or soup. (Ex: Fish head soup)
* Tail: The tail end of the fish, often used for stock or soup.
Internal Parts:
* Roe: Fish eggs, often considered a delicacy. (Ex: Salmon roe, Caviar)
* Milt: Fish sperm, often used for fish stock or as an ingredient in some Asian dishes.
* Liver: Fish liver, sometimes used for pate or other dishes. (Ex: Foie gras from duck or goose, though not technically fish)
Other Parts:
* Skin: The outer layer of the fish, sometimes eaten, sometimes removed. (Ex: Grilled Salmon with Skin On)
* Bones: The internal skeleton of the fish, often removed before eating, but sometimes used for stock or soup.
* Scales: The tiny, protective plates on the skin of the fish, usually removed before eating.
It's important to note that the parts of a fish that are considered edible vary depending on the culture and the type of fish. For example, in some cultures, fish heads and bones are considered delicacies, while in others, they are discarded.
