Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Remaining scales on fish do not contribute to spoilage. Spoilage is primarily caused by factors like natural toxins, contaminants, and the action of proteolytic enzymes which break down proteins, leading to deterioration. Scales, while they need to be removed for most culinary purposes, do not inherently cause the fish to spoil.
