Fish and seafood offer delicious, healthy options rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein. From fresh fish to shellfish, choosing the right seafood guarantees an enjoyable and nutritious meal.
Selecting Fresh Fish & Seafood
✔Look for clear, bright eyes in whole fish – This indicates freshness. ✔Check for firm flesh – The flesh should spring back when pressed, not leave an indentation. ✔Smell for freshness – Fresh seafood should have a clean, ocean-like aroma. Any strong or fishy smell is a sign of spoilage.
How to Store Fish & Seafood
✔Refrigerate seafood immediately if it’s not being cooked right away. ✔Store shellfish in breathable containers to maintain freshness. ✔Freeze extra seafood for later use, but ensure it’s properly wrapped to avoid freezer burn.
