| Abstract: | When the scales, head, and fins are removed it’s really hard to tell which species a fish fillet is just by looking at it. It’s even trickier when a breaded crust or sauce is added. In this way, it’s quite easy to pass one fish off for another. A lot of fish are chopped into fillets in a built-in factory right on the boat. The fillets arrive to shore frozen in boxes so the secondary buyers might not even know what type of fish they are buying. |
