What Kind Of Fish Is This?

Picture
Like people, fish come in all shapes and sizes. They vary in texture and taste. You can buy them whole or already cut into filets. Some fish are farmed, others are wild-caught. When cooked certain fish are flaky and some are meaty. Because of all the variety, it's good to know what you are buying before you do. On these pages, I'll try to give a general overview of the types of fish available and what to expect as far as taste and cooking methods. You can check out the recipes above for more information.
