Who is the Choosing Fish poster for?

Choosing Fish belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning ingredients can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Choosing Fish poster?

Clear eyes, red gills, firm flesh, no strong smell. Fresh fish smells of the sea, not of fish. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Choosing Fish belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Choosing Fish?

What size does the Choosing Fish poster print at?

Choosing Fish is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Choosing Fish loses nothing.Printing guide
