How can I figure out if fish is fresh?
When you're buying fish, first check out the market. Does it smell strongly of fish? Do the employees seem ill or unclean? Are they handling fish carefully, with frequent changes of plastic gloves? An immaculate shop staffed with knowledgeable, clean workers is the first good sign that you'll get fresh fish there. When you look at the fish itself, remember:
  • Fresh fish should not smell strongly fishy; it should be almost odorless, or have a faint scent of the sea.
  • The flesh should be firm and shiny with no discoloration, and it should spring back when you press it.
  • If you're buying a whole fish, the eyes should be clear, the scales shiny, and the gills clean and bright red.
