How to buy fresh fish
Here are some quick tips on how to buy safe, fresh fish at the market.- 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.
- Look for fresh fish that do not give off an odor of ammonia or -- for that matter -- fish. Fish that smell fishy may be spoiled.
