    • Don’t buy fish more than 3 days after it’s caught.
    • Good fresh fish will have shiny scales.
    • Gills should be red and moist looking.
    • Eyes should appear full, not sunken.

    How to buy fresh fish

        Hi, I’m Martha Drayton from Whole Foods Market. Most Americans are trying to incorporate more fish into their diets, and it’s a good idea. But, many of us are concerned, how do we pick a fish that’s truly fresh?
        As a general rule of thumb, you don’t want to pick any fish that is older then three days. But there are a few tell tale signs. You want to get a fish that is shiny, and its scales are sleek. You want to get a fish whose scales are red and moist. You also want to look for eyes that are not sunken, but most important trust your nose. There should be no fishy smell. I’m Martha Drayton from Whole Foods Market for howdini.com.
