Buying Frozen Fish
Freezing presents special problems to the astute fish
buyer. Freezing masks the signs of freshness, making it
difficult to tell the age of the fish under consideration.
There are many signs that indicate good quality however.
First, the flesh should be solidly frozen, and there should
be no signs of discoloration. Be sure to look for freezer
burn, which is indicated by a white dry appearance around
the edges of the flesh, or by ice crystals. Freezer burn
indicates that moisture has been lost, possibly as a result
of thawing or refreezing. In addition, the fish should be
wrapped in moisture-proof material with little or no
air-space between the fish and wrapping. There should be
no odor. Once a fish is frozen do not refreeze.
