Notes:
The protein, oil, ash, moisture, sodium, and potassium content of samples of butterfish, flounder, pollock, and hake was determined. In addition, length, weight, and fillet yield have been recorded. Fillet yield differed markedly both with species and with the size of the fish. Analysis showed a wide variation in the percentage of oil, not only in butterfish (considered an oily fish) but also in lean fish such as silver hake and flounder. Protein content proved to be consistently higher in pollock than in the other fish. Mineral and oil components showed a much higher percentage in offal than in corresponding fillets. Analysis of variance indicated that significant differences in results were related to the season in which the fish were caught.
