How to use the portion planner
Enter the expected adults and children, then select the role seafood will play in the meal. The estimate is for broadly usable seafood portions, not shell-on whole-product purchasing.
Adjust upward when seafood is the only main item or guests have large appetites. Adjust downward when the meal includes appetizers, several sides or another main dish.
What changes the buying weight
- Shells, bones, skin and heavy ice glaze reduce edible yield.
- Whole fish and live shellfish require more purchase weight than boneless fillets.
- Mixed dishes can use smaller seafood portions without making the meal feel sparse.
Planning estimate only: Keep seafood cold, use reputable sources and follow official cooking and storage guidance.
