How much fish to buy
 
Whether you choose fresh fish that's never been frozen, fish that's frozen onboard ship, or land-frozen fish, you won't have to fish for quality. With today's technology, you get just-caught taste and flavor.
 

Cooked crabmeat, cooked lobster meat, surimi seafoods, cooked and peeled shrimp, raw scallops, raw cleaned squid--about 1/4 to 1/3 lb. per person

Whole or round fish--3/4 to 1 lb. per person

Dressed or clean fish--1/2 to 3/4 lb. per person

Fillets and steaks--1/3 to 1/2 lb. per person

Live 1 to 2 lb. lobster, 1-2 lb. crabs, 12-15 mussels, 6-12 oysters (depending on size), 6-12 clams (depending on size), per person
