Unlike mammals, fish are cold-blooded (ectothermic). This means that they do not maintain a constant internal body temperature; instead, their temperature is greatly influenced by their environment. True fish have a backbone and fins. Most also breathe with gills and have scales that cover their bodies.

Q. How do I know what type of fish I have?
Some characteristics that differentiate fish include the shape of their heads, where their mouths are located, fin type and location, and average adult size. Color markings, such as vertical stripes or fin spots, may also help differentiate fish when used in combination with other factors including geographic range.
Q. How do I know what kind of fish I have?

Q. Do you gut a fish before filleting?
If you’re a rookie angler, it’s best to gut the fish before you fillet it. This is to make sure you don’t accidentally rupture any of the innards. Rupturing the liver or intestines may cause your fish to smell and taste bad. What’s worse is, for some species, their digestive enzymes can be poisonous too.
Q. What is the first thing to remove when filleting a fish?
Midway along the fish, place the knife down and through to the underside of the fish, and then run the knife along the whole fillet, to the tail. Remove the fillet by stroking the knife under the fillet from the mid point of the fish, towards the head, then remove it from the frame. Repeat on the other side.
Q. When should I gut my fish?
What’s the best way to keep fish fresh after catching? Ideally, you’ll want to bleed and gut fresh fish immediately after catching them, and then keep them on ice until you cook them on the same or the next day. Raw fish should only be kept in the fridge for 1 or 2 days before eating it.
Q. Should you kill a fish when you catch it?
Humane killing requires that the fish is stunned (rendered instantaneously insensible) before being bled out. Fish should remain in water until immediately prior to stunning. There are two methods that can be used to stun fish caught by hand: percussive stunning and spiking (also known as pithing or iki-jime).
Q. How long after catching a fish do you have to clean it?
Once fish are dead, it’s best to clean them within two hours and eat them within 24 hours. You will need a method of holding your fish until you are ready to clean them.
Q. Where do you put caught fish?
After the Catch Wipe the fish surface clean with cloth or paper towels, keep the fish moist, but not wet, by wrapping it in clear plastic wrap, put the fish in a sealable storage bag, and place it on ice or snow. If making fillets, rinse the fish in cold, clean water to remove blood, bacteria, and digestive enzymes.
Q. How long does freshly caught fish last in the fridge?
two days
Q. Is putting fish on ice humane?
Some relatively humane slaughter methods have been developed, including percussive and electric stunning. However, most fish harvesting continues to use methods like suffocation in air, carbon-dioxide stunning, or ice chilling that may not optimise fish welfare in some instances.
Q. How long can fresh fish stay in the fridge?
Raw fish and shellfish should be kept in the refrigerator (40 °F/4.4 °C or less) only 1 or 2 days before cooking or freezing. After cooking, store seafood in the refrigerator 3 to 4 days. Any frozen fish or shellfish will be safe indefinitely; however, the flavor and texture will lessen after lengthy storage.
