Buying Fresh Fish
The form of fish is only one consideration in
purchasing fresh fish. When buying a whole, drawn, or
dressed fish look for a fresh, mild odor and firm springy
flesh. You can check the firmness of the flesh by pressing
your finger on it. The flesh should not separate from the
bone. Also, the skin should be iridescent and smooth.
Another tip in buying a whole fish is to examine its eyes.
They should be bright, clear and bulging. The gills should
be intact, red, and free from residue. All fresh fish
should be displayed and packaged on ice.
When purchasing fresh fillets, steaks, or portions,
the first thing to check is odor. It should be fresh and
mild. Also, check the flesh. It should be freshly cut
without traces of browning or drying around the edges.
