What is a serving?

A serving of fish is about the size and thickness of your hand. Give children smaller servings. For smaller fish species, several individual fish may be required to yield a serving.

Preparing and Cooking Fish

• For fish, eat only the skinless fillet.
• For shellfish, eat only the meat.
• Some chemicals are higher in the skin, fat, and guts.
• Remove and throw away the skin before cooking.
• Cook thoroughly and allow the juices to drain away.
