Buying skills of fresh fish
1. Look at swimming style: the swimming style of healthy fish should be relaxed and smooth. If the fish in front of you is found to be 'heavy headed' and tilted, it means that the fish is not very healthy.
2. Look at the fish body: the healthy fish body should be complete and symmetrical. It is characterized by tight appearance and orderly arrangement of scales, no white spots and scars on the body, normal shape and no deformation.
3. Look at fish eyes: the eyes of healthy fish should be clear and transparent, full and protruding. If the fish's eyes are found to be bruised or sunken, it means that the fish is no longer fresh. It is recommended to give up. Take steamed fish as a comparison. If the fish is steamed now, the fish eyes should be prominent after the fish is steamed out of the pot. The eyes of the dead fish are still sunken after steaming.
4. Look at the fish: the body of a healthy fish should be tight and elastic. If you press with your finger, the fish is very fresh if you feel that the part of the fish is very tight and the depressed part you press after you let it go can rebound quickly. On the contrary, it means that the fish has been dead for some time.
5. Look at gills: fresh gills should be bright red and odorless (only normal fishy smell). If the gills are dark red or grayish brown, the fish are not very fresh. In addition, if there is a rotten smell in the gill part of the fish, it means that the fish has gone bad. It is recommended to give up.
6. Look at the belly: the fresh belly will not be very swollen, and the anus will also shrink. However, due to the reproduction of microorganisms in the abdominal cavity of fresh fish, a large amount of gas is produced, which will make the belly of the fish expand and the anus protrude. It's also one of the tricks to identify whether a fish is fresh.
