Food chemist Shirley Corriher explains how to select fish and shrimp for various cooking methods.

  • Delicate fish such as sole, flounder or catfish should be poached or pan seared.

  • Firmer fleshy fish like salmon, haddock or cod can be grilled.

  • Shrimp are bought by size, and knowing the count per pound is the key factor. Extra-large shrimp have 15 to 20 per pound, while medium have 31 to 35 per pound.
