Categories By Edible Traits

While fat and lean are important characteristics in fish, they are not the only ones. Texture; moisture; grain of the meat, and density of the flesh are also important in choosing the best preparation method. Fish can be further broken down based on these other traits. When categorized in this manner there are currently fifteen major groupings.

Caviars And Roes
