Seafood ID & Fabrication I

We just finished up Seafood Identification & Fabrication this past Friday. It has been an incredible introduction to the creatures of the sea. Here is the first installment of some pretty cool stuff:

The Red Rockfish before.........................................

and after getting filleted!

Fresh Scallops right out of the sea...................................................

and the inside of a living scallop. Anything look familiar? We only consume the little round ball in the middle, the rest is just intestinal filter-feeding waste.

Last for the day was skate or sting ray. This is a cartilaginous fish species with similar characteristics to shark. Two filet's and one cartilage bone cage. And yes, we ate them all.
