Cuisine & Edibility

Clownfish

Not consumed — iconic ornamental marine species famous for its symbiotic relationship with sea anemones; a staple of reef aquariums worldwide.

Species Overview

Clownfish

The ocellaris clownfish is a protandrous sequential hermaphrodite that lives in a mutualistic relationship with sea anemones. Its mucus coating protects it from anemone stings. All individuals are born male and the dominant fish transitions to female.

Yellow Perch

The yellow perch is a schooling fish found in lakes and slow rivers across North America. Its golden-yellow body with dark vertical bars is unmistakable. Its sweet, firm white flesh makes it one of the finest-tasting freshwater fish.
