ABSTRACT
This book is not the proper forum to discuss the manufacture of every frozen seafood product available on the market. However, regulatory agencies such as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have issued some minimal criteria for several frozen seafood and seafood products: what they are, what types and styles are available, and so on. This chapter describes each available frozen seafood product based on the product grades issued by the NMFS. A product grade is established to achieve two objectives: ensure product safety and to minimize economic fraud.
