The Amount of Shellfish to Purchase
In determining the amount of shellfish to purchase use
the same scale as for fresh fish, which is approximately
1/3 pound of edible fish per person. Specifically this
translates as the following:
Shrimp--raw (in shell) 1/2 pound or 6 large shrimp
Shrimp--raw, shelled 1/3 pound
Scallops--fresh 1/3 pound
Crabs--soft-shelled, live 1 large crab or 2 small
Oysters & clams-(in shell) 6 oysters or clams
Oysters & clams--shucked 6 oysters or clams
Lobster--fresh 1 pound or 1 small or 1/2 large
Lobster--tails 1 large tail or 8 ounces
Lobster meat 1/3 pound
Mussels 12 mussels
Prawns 6 large prawns
All amounts on the chart are the amounts per person.
They are average servings as an entree. If your family or
friends are hearty fish eaters the figures should be
adjusted. Should the fish be used as an appetizer or
served with a rich sauce, less is required.
