ALL ABOUT FISH

By Haris and Ritsa Laoumtzi



Shellfish

Clams and squid, despite appearances, are closely related members of the mollusk family. Oysters, clams, mussels and scallops are called bivalve mollusks because they have a hinged shell of two parts. Squid, octopus and cuttlefish are cephalopods. They have an internal "shell" (called a quill), ink sacs and arms with suckers.

 Crustaceans (shrimp, lobster, crabs) are the other branch of the edible shellfish family.


 
When buying shellfish, remember they must be alive and raw; crustaceans should be animated when touched; bi-valve mollusks should be tightly shut, if the shells are partially open they should clamp shut when tapped, and should have a fresh briny aroma and no sign of an ammonia smell.
