How to Choose the Best Fish & Seafood

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.
