Fresh fish do not stink
Its interior gills must be intense red
Fresh fish fillets must be moist and tight
This article will explain how you can distinguish between fresh fish and fish that have been caught a few days ago and are not as fresh.
The list you are gong to see now will show you what look in a fresh fish:
- “Look deep into my eyes”, if they are cloudy and not clear it means that the fish has been “fished” more than 5 days ago.
- Its interior gills must be intense red, if it’s pink or brownish it probably means that either it is not that fresh or that it was mishandled.
- Fresh fish do not stink; they smell fresh and like a nice sea breeze.
- The fish’s “skin” should be tight but elastic at the same time.
When you press your finger on the skin it should “spring back”.
- Fresh fish fillets must be moist and tight.
- Check the fillets for bruises. Dark red spots will usually indicate mishandling of the fish.
