The leanest fish, such as flounder, have a white- or light-colored flesh, while fattier fish, such as salmon or mackerel, usually have a darker hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list below shows the average total fat content in a three-ounce serving of common finfish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High Fat (10 grams or greater)<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Herring, mackerel, salmon (Atlantic, coho, sockeye, chinook)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medium Fat (5 to 10 grams)<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bluefish, catfish, swordfish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low Fat (2 to 5 grams)<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Halibut, mussels, oysters, ocean perch, salmon (chum, pink)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Very Low Fat (less than 2 grams)<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crab, clams, flounder, mahi mahi, scallops, shrimp, tuna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The fat in finfish tends to be polyunsaturated. When they react with oxygen, these fats will degrade and create off-odors and flavors. This process can happen even in frozen storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To maintain quality, finfish can be pretreated before freezing and frozen storage. We recommend a lemon-gelatin glaze that was developed by extension specialists with the <a href=\"https:\/\/fbns.ncsu.edu\/\/seafoodlab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NC&#160;State University Seafood Laboratory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-9624\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1200\" src=\"http:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Freezing-Finfish.png\" alt=\"Steps to freezing finfish\" class=\"wp-image-9624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Freezing-Finfish.png 1500w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Freezing-Finfish-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Freezing-Finfish-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/Freezing-Finfish-768x614.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Clockwise, from top left: 1) To maintain quality, dip fish in a lemon-gelatin glaze. 2) Wrap the fish tightly in a heavy, protective plastic film. 3) Freeze quickly. 4) Fish frozen with a gelatin glaze will remain fresh longer than those with no glaze.

Thoroughly wash the shells and place live shellfish in moisture-vapor resistant bags if you have plenty of freezer space to accommodate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re tight on freezer space, however, you can shuck the shellfish. First, wash clams and oysters, discarding any shellfish that have died. These you can identify by gently tapping shells that are open slightly. If they do not close when tapped, they are likely dead. Shuck the shellfish into a strainer (save the liquid, known as liquor) and remove any pieces of shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If necessary, the clams and oysters can be rinsed to remove any sand. Place clams and oysters and their liquor in a plastic container or freezer bag, leaving \u00bd-inch headspace, seal, and freeze. If there is not enough liquor to fill the container, use ice water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Shrimp\"><strong>SHRIMP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-9625\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/shrimp-frozen.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen shrimp\" class=\"wp-image-9625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/shrimp-frozen.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/04\/shrimp-frozen-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">To freeze shrimp, cover with ice water, leaving enough headspace in the container for the water to expand when frozen.

Place the shrimp in a freezer container and cover them with ice water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave enough headspace for the water to expand when frozen. Use small or medium-size containers so the shrimp will freeze more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid using freezer bags, because the shrimp tails can puncture them, causing leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PICKED CRABMEAT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cooked, picked crabmeat should be frozen in covered, airtight containers or in heavy-duty freezer bags. Massage the bag to force as much air out of it before placing the meat in a freezer.Another way to extend the shelf life of cooked crabmeat is to freeze it in preparations, such as crab cakes or casseroles. Blending cooked crabmeat with non-seafood ingredients tends to protect its tender texture by keeping it from becoming stringy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NEW RECIPES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many consumers love seafood, but they tend to enjoy it at restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research by North Carolina Sea Grant shows that consumers would purchase more local seafood to eat at home if they were confident in their cooking skills. Survey respondents indicated that recipes would enrich their experience cooking with fresh seafood at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, Sea Grant has been adding new recipes to its online resource <a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mariner\u2019s Menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These recipes were developed and crafted by a former Sea Grant extension educator and her hand-picked volunteers using seafood harvested by North Carolina fishermen. Preparations that did not score a four or a five on five-point scale were reformulated to correct problems with flavor, texture and appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent months, Vanda Lewis of North Carolina Sea Grant has been reviewing, testing and updating the recipes for the online archive. And she includes photographs that will make your mouth water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now choose from more than 200 recipes, including appetizers and entrees that feature crab, clams, finfish, oysters, scallops and shrimp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find Mariner\u2019s Menu recipes at <a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/mariners-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">marinersmenu.org<\/a>.
