Pier Seafood Found On Redondo Beach CA

By Sharron Cantu


Sea water is a major supplier of nutritious food for human consumption. Pier seafood is found in large quantities on the Redondo Beach in CA. Several varieties of animal and plant species are classified under seafood. Seafood includes different forms of animals and plants which provide a lot of nutritional nutrients to human bodies. Animals under seafood are shellfish and fish. Mammals are being eliminated from this category because their consumption is highly reducing around the globe.

Depending on migratory behavior and section of the sea a fish inhabits, fishes can be classified into several groups. The main groups are marine pelagic, diadromous, freshwater fishes, and marine demersal. All fish species that live near the sea surface and get their food supplies from there are called marine pelagic. There are larger species found in this group including tuna, salmon, marlin, shark, and swordfish. On the other hand, the small species include sprats, menhaden, herring, and sardines.

Fishes that occupy ocean beds are referred to as demersal fish. Their food sources which are made up mostly of crustaceans are found at the bed of oceans. Because they do not need strong muscles for swimming, their flesh is normally whiter than that of marine pelagic. Flatfish, stingrays, grouper, and cod are the key examples.

Diadromous fish are known for their migratory behavior between fresh and sea water. Their body systems are adapted to live in both fresh and salty waters. Key examples of fishes in this category are shad, lampreys, eels, and salmon. Lastly, freshwater fishes inhabit fresh water sources such as ponds, lakes, and rivers. Examples include catfish, trout, carp, and tilapia. They are used more in fish farming in USA. Infact, a large proportion of freshwater fishes consumed in US are reared on farms.

Shellfish on the other hand comprises of crustaceans, echinoderms, and molluscs. Molluscs lack hard protective structures found in crustaceans and their bodies are not segmented. They only have calcareous shells which protect them. The shell grows as the organism grows. This category has bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods as main subgroups. Cephalopods lack protective shells.

Chitin forms the building blocks in the protective shell found in crustaceans. After cooking, the shell color changes to pink or reddish. Crustaceans inhabit the ocean at different depths. Some species live near the surface while others live at the bottom of the ocean. Most known sub-groups in this class include lobsters, krill, crabs, and shrimps. There are different varieties under the sub-groups named.

Broiling, frying, grilling, smoking, steaming, baking, and roasting are some of the preparation methods one can use. If preparation instructions are followed carefully, one can make very delicious meals through the methods. Seafood can be eaten alone or together with vegetables, fruits, or other foods.

To prevent cross-contamination from happening, all raw foods must be kept away from cooked ones. In case of cross-contamination, proper disposal of the food should be done. Alternatively, the contaminated foods may be fed to animals that are not affected by the contamination. Proper washing of hands should be done after and before handling the organisms.
