Round Fish Definition
Catfish
Catfish are a diverse group of ray-finned fish. Named for their
prominent barbels, which resemble a cat's whiskers, catfish range in size and
behavior from the three largest species, the Mekong giant catfish
from Southeast Asia, the wels catfish of Eurasia and the Piraíba
of South America.
King Fish
The king mackerel or kingfish (Scomberomorus cavalla) is a
migratory species of mackerel of the western Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. It is an important species to
both the commercial and recreational fishing industries.
Red Snapper
The northern red snapper is a species of snapper native to the western
Atlantic Ocean including the Gulf of Mexico, where it inhabits
environments associated with reefs. This species is commercially
important and is also sought-after as a game fish.
Salmon
Salmon is the common name for several species of ray-finned
fish in the family Salmonidae.Salmon are native
to tributaries of the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.
Salmon are intensively farmed in many parts of the world.
Tilapia
Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the tilapiine
cichlid tribe. Tilapia are mainly freshwater fish inhabiting
shallow streams, ponds, rivers and lakes and less commonly found living in brackish water.
Flat Fish Definition
Halibut
Halibut is a common name principally applied to the two flatfish in the
genus Hippoglossus from the family of right-eye flounders. Less
commonly, and in some regions only, other species of flatfish are also
referred to as being halibuts.
Dab
The common dab (Limanda limanda) is an edible flatfish of the family
Pleuronectidae. It is a demersal fish native to shallow seas around
Northern Europe, in particular the North Sea, where it lives on sandy
bottoms down to depths of about 100 metres.
Turbot
The turbot is a species of flatfish in the family
Scophthalmidae. It is a demersal fish native to marine or brackish waters of the North
Atlantic, Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
Sole
Sole is a fish belonging to several families. Generally speaking, they are members of the family Soleidae, but, outside Europe, the name sole is also
applied to various other similar flatfish, especially other members of the sole suborder Soleoidei as well as
members of the flounder family.
Brill
The brill, Scophthalmus rhombus, is a species of flatfish in the turbot family of the order Pleuronectiformes. Brill can be found in the northeast Atlantic, Baltic Sea, and Mediterranean,
primarily in deeper offshore waters.
Mollusks Definition
Clams
It refers to one or more kinds of commonly consumed marine
bivalves, such as in the phrase clam chowder, which refers to
shellfish soup. Many edible clams are roughly oval-shaped or
triangular; however, razor clams have an elongated parallel-sided
shell, suggesting an old-fashioned straight razor.
Octopus
It has two eyes and four pairs of arms and, like other cephalopods, it is
bilaterally symmetric. It has a beak, with its mouth at the center point of
the arms. It has no internal or external skeleton allowing it to squeeze through tight places.
Octopuses are among the most intelligent and behaviorally diverse of
all invertebrates.
Oysters
Some kinds of oysters are commonly consumed by humans, cooked or raw, the latter being a delicacy. Some kinds of pearl oysters are
harvested for the pearl produced within the mantle. Windowpane oysters are harvested for their
translucent shells, which are used to make various kinds of decorative
objects.
Scallops
Scallop is a common name that is primarily applied to any one of
numerous species of saltwater clams or marine bivalve mollusks in the taxonomic family Pectinidae, the
scallops.
Squid
An elongated, fast-swimming cephalopod mollusk with ten arms
(technically, eight arms and two long tentacles),
typically able to change color.
Crustaceans Definition
Crab
Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very
short projecting "tail", usually entirely hidden under the
thorax.
Lobster
Lobsters comprise a family of large marine
crustaceans. They have long bodies with muscular tails, and live in crevices or burrows on the sea floor.
Cray Fish
Lobsters comprise a family of large marine
crustaceans. They have long bodies with muscular tails, and live in crevices or burrows on the sea floor.
Shrimp
A small free-swimming crustacean with an
elongated body, typically marine and frequently
harvested for food.
Scampi
Scampi includes various culinary preparations of certain
crustaceans, commonly Nephrops norvegicus, or a
similar lobster such as Metanephrops, as well as shrimp or prawns. Scampi
preparation styles vary regionally.
