How do you know how fresh your fish really is? Here are three simple checks you can look for when buying fresh fish:
1. Eyes - are the fish's eyes clear, round and full-looking? If they look cloudy or sunken, the fish will be 2-3 or more days old.
2. Gills - are the fish's gills pink and clear of mucus? Gills should not look bloody or have any grit or large amounts of mucus in them
3. Belly - is the belly white and fresh-looking? If it's discoloured the fish may have been handled poorly on the boat or stored incorrectly.
