Choosing Your Fish: Tips for the Best Selection
Choosing the right fish can be daunting, especially with so many options available. Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:
- Look for Bright Eyes: Fresh fish should have clear, bright eyes. Cloudy eyes are a sign that the fish is not fresh.
- Check the Smell: Fresh fish should smell mild and of the sea. A strong, fishy odor is a red flag.
- Feel the Flesh: Press the flesh of the fish gently. It should spring back and not leave an indent.
- Inspect the Gills: Fresh fish gills should be bright red or pink. Any discoloration is a sign of spoilage.
