               In general a serving equals 1/3 to 1/2 pound of edible 
          fish.  The amount to buy depends upon the form in which the 
          fish is purchased.  Allow one pound of whole fish per 
          person, 1/2 pound of dressed fish per person, 1/3 pound of 
          steaks and fillets per person, and 1/3 pound of breaded 
          fishsticks or portions per person.  These figures, of 
          course, are only guidelines and can be adjusted according 
          to the eating habits of your family and friends.
