Seafood Yield % 

When your cooks butcher seafood these are achievable seafood yield factor standards. 

Notes:

  • Skn/on Untrm = skin-on untrimmed, meaning the bloodline is in
  • Skn/on Trim = skin-on, excess waste is trimmed including about 95% of the bloodline
    • Mahi Mahi still includes the bloodline in the Skn/on Trim category
  • Skn/on C/C = Skin-on center cut
