Seafood Freshness

• Colour and smell are only two indications of freshness. The skin of fresh fish should also be taut and glossy. Fish that is off-white to brown in colour or that has a milky or dull film is not fresh.
• Buying whole fish? The eyes should be bright and black, not sunken. The gills should be red and free os slime.
• Do not buy frozen seafood items that are not solidly frozen or that have freezer burns or icy white discolouration.
