Collection: Seafood Fin Fish

Fin fish can be broken down into 4 basic categories. Round fish: These have a more rounded body shape and swim vertically. Examples include salmon, tuna, and snapper. Flat fish: These fish are flat and have both eyes on one side of their head, swimming horizontally along the ocean floor. Examples are flounder and sole. Cartilaginous fish: These have skeletons made of cartilage instead of bone. Examples include sharks and rays. Freshwater and Saltwater: Fish are also then categorized by the type of water they live in, such as freshwater (catfish, perch) or saltwater (mackerel, snapper). For mild, white fish (cod or halibut): Consider herbs with a slightly sweet or savory flavor, such as dill, parsley, or basil. For richer fish (salmon): Try bolder seasonings, be careful not to overdo it. Lemon-pepper or smoked salts are great choices. In general, choose seasonings that complement the fish's natural flavor, rather than mask it. Always keep it simple and if you're unsure, start with just salt, pepper, and a little oil, and then add other seasonings as needed. Here are SALTOPIA's suggestions for different types of fin fish recipes.
