Fish meal is a commercial product made from whole wild-caught fish, bycatch and fish by-products to feed farm animals, e.g., pigs, poultry, and farmed fish.

Fishmeal is the brown flour obtained after cooking, pressing, drying and milling (collectively called ‘reducing or reduction’) fresh raw fish and fish trimmings.
It is made from almost any type of seafood but is generally manufactured from wild-caught, small, bony/oily marine fish which are usually deemed not suitable for direct human consumption.
