Example: To find out how much whole salmon you need to get ten pounds of fillet you would convert the yield percentage to hundredths (75% = .75) and then divide 10 by that number. So 10/.75= 13.33, so you would need about 14 pounds of whole salmon to give you 10 pounds of fillet.
If you paid $7.00 a pound for whole salmon then to figure out your fillet cost you would then divide the whole price by the yield percentage $7.00/.75= $9.33
To determine how much fillet you get from whole fish simply convert the percentage to hundredths and multiply. Lets say you have a 20 pound wild striped bass, your fillet yield would be 20 x .33 = 6.6 If you paid $5.00 a pound for the fish your fillet cost would be $7.00/.33 or $21 per pound.
So plan accordingly and take into account fish yields when making your purchasing decisions. It is easy to see that whole fish prices can be misleading if you do not have an accurate concept of fillet yields.

BRONSON EMPHASIZES SAFETY OF FLORIDA SEAFOOD
TALLAHASSEE -- Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner
Charles H. Bronson today said that seafood currently being harvested in
Florida is safe and has not been impacted by the oil spill in the gulf.
He is concerned that misinformation about the conditions in the gulf
waters may unnecessarily impact the state's seafood industry.
While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is
restricting commercial and recreational fishing in federal waters from
Louisiana to waters off Pensacola Bay, the ban does not yet impact waters
extended out 25 miles from Escambia County. Currently, all species
harvested from the closure line to shore -- including grouper, snapper,
golden tilefish, mullet, blue crab, oysters, flounder, sea trout and
shrimp -- are safe to eat. Stone crab season is in effect until May 15
and is also unaffected by the ban. Federal agencies and the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection are conducting ongoing tests of
water samples and have not found any hydrocarbons in samples taken from
Florida.
In addition, Bronson's Division of Aquaculture is monitoring oysters to
assure their safety, and NOAA is working closely with the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration and food safety officials in the gulf states to
assure that no unsafe seafood products are sent to markets.
"Our shrimp, shellfish and other seafood being harvested right now are
fine, and I don't want people watching reports of the oil spill to think
differently," Bronson said. "If and when Florida waters are impacted by
the spill, we will take immediate action to close the waters to
commercial and recreational harvesting."
In 2008, the latest figures available, the quantity of seafood sold at
the dock just on the west coast surpassed 66 million pounds with a value
of about $125 million. This is the price paid to the fishermen for their
catch, not the retail or wholesale value.
In response to the Deepwater Horizon Incident in the Gulf of Mexico,
Bronson's Division of Aquaculture is actively evaluating the latest
reports from the official clearinghouse of information at
http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com and evaluating predictions of
spill movement, weather patterns and projected landfall points.
