Talk about wasted shark meat when only the fins are harvested…
Should we be eating whole fish, or just fillets? An estimated 8-10% of flesh is wasted (http://www.fao.org/wairdocs/tan/x5950e/x5950e01.htm). But if taking into account the skin, bones and head, then the total wastage would be as much as 45%
(http://www.academiabarilla.com/italian-recipes/how-to/filleting-salmon.aspx).
Should we learn to eat fish off the bone?
