QUALITY OF FISH
 Quality of Fish
Most often "quality" refers to the aesthetic
appearance and freshness or degree of
spoilage which the fish has undergone.
1) SKIN – A shiny
skin with slime on
the surface is a
good sign that the
fish is fresh and
good quality.
2) FINS – The fins
should be clearly
defined and perky,
not scraggy or
broken.
3) GILLS – A moist,
shiny and pink or
red gill is a great
sign that the fish
is fresh and good
quality. Stay away
from fish that has
brown or faded
gills.
4) SMELL – Remember
fresh fish should smell of
the sea not fish. Also
make sure that the fish
smells appetising and not
of a smelly odour that
you hope will disappear
when you cook it.
5) FEEL – A good quality fish
will always feel firm. Some
fish will feel softer than
others however if the fish
feels flabby or goes slack
then this is a sign that the
fish has gone stale.
6) EYES – Fresh fish should have
bright clear eyes. Stay away
from fish that have cloudy,
sunken or red blotched eyes.
