Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The modern English word "fish" comes from what language?

Answer: Old English "fisc"

All these cultures had seafood as a major part of their diet, but 'fish' is an English word.
2. Fish, especially the saltwater varieties, is rich in a certain fatty acid that is recommended for heart health. Name this "Greek" substance.

Answer: Omega 3

Regular consumption of foods rich in Omega 3 can significantly reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, a leading cause of heart attack.
3. Certain seafood products have been shown to contain high levels of what heavy metal that can harm unborn babies and young children?

Answer: Mercury

Tuna is largely believed to be a culprit in high levels of Mercury. However, the US Food and Drug Administration reports that only Albacore or "white tuna" has Mercury levels deemed significant.
4. Considered a delicacy in Japan, what fish must be specially prepared by a licensed chef who has passed a national exam?

Answer: Fugu

The "puffer fish" has a lethal dose of tetrodotoxin in its' internal organs. I suggest you order the Orange Roughy instead.
5. In America, French Fries are served with fried fish. What do the British consume?

Answer: Chips

Our 'fries' are their 'chips'. Our 'chips' are their 'crisps'. George Bernard Shaw reportedly remarked that the British and Americans are two peoples separated by a common language!
6. One of my favorite breakfast treats, Lox served on a bagel with cream cheese and capers, is derived from what fish?

Answer: Salmon

Usually made from the belly of the salmon, lox is brined and then smoked. This gives it a distinct flavor.
7. Most definitely an acquired taste, Lutefisk is dried cod prepared with lye. What region of the world has given us this unusual ethnic delicacy?

Answer: Scandinavia

While still consumed by Norwegian-Americans as an annual tradition, Lutefisk has fallen out of favor (flavor?) with most residents of Norway.
8. Traditionally considered the finest dish in Japanese cuisine, what dish consists of raw seafood, sliced thinly and served with a dipping sauce?

Answer: Sashimi

While raw fish is a traditional ingredient in Sushi, many dishes use cooked seafood or none at all.
9. One version of this soup is made with a cream base, another uses a tomato base. Name this popular starter.

Answer: Clam Chowder

New England Clam Chowder has a rich cream base. Manhattan Clam Chowder uses a thinner tomato base.
10. A beautiful melange of seafood, rice and seasonings, this hearty main course is considered by some to be the national dish of Spain.

Answer: Paella

Paella is believed to have originated in the Valencia region of Spain.
