Title: Seafood Mistakes! Here are Some Tips to Help you Avoid Them on
Your Next Shopping Trip.
Author: Flavia Bindees
Article:
Most people, when they buy seafood, have no idea what they are
looking for. This usually leads to many mistakes in their
purchase. To avoid mistakes when buying seafood by looking at
each type of seafood and the characteristics that it should have
when you purchase it. Whether the seafood is frozen or fresh,
you should only buy high quality. Here are some tips to help you
on your next shopping trip.
1. When buying whole fish, you should look for bright, shiny,
and intact scales. The eyes should be clear, full, and bright.
You should be able to see all the markings that the fish has. If
it appears faded, then it is quite possible that the fish is not
the freshest. In some species, they should protrude. Gill color
will fade over time but keep this rule in mind, the brighter the
color the fresher that it is. Fresh fish will have very little
to no odor. 2. When buying fish filets/steaks, if there is an
odor, avoid them completely. If there are signs of browning on
the edges or if it looks dry then avoid the purchase. The flesh
of the fish should be firm, elastic, and moist and have a fresh
cut look. Make sure that if they are wrapped that there is no
liquid in the package and that the plastic wrap is very tight
around the fish. This will ensure that you are buying something
that is not bad. 3. When purchasing frozen seafood, make sure
that it is frozen solid. Avoid any discoloration, water stains,
or ice crystals, which is probably freezer burn or it has been
thawed and refrozen. There should be no odor. Again, when
wrapped, there should be no moisture or smell permeating from
the package. Always look to see what the expiration date is. If
it is expired, do not buy it.
Remember, when making your seafood purchase, freshness is the
key. Make sure to talk to the person behind the counter to learn
how the seafood was frozen if you are purchasing your meal this
way. Flash Freezing is a process that that some seafood markets
do in order to ensure the quality of the fish that you are
buying. This process is done because it takes time for the
seafood to get where it is going. This process can sometimes be
better than fresh.
Hopefully this will help you figure out what you are purchasing
the next time you are standing in front of a case full of fish.
If nothing, it will at least ensure that you and your family
will not get sick from fish that is old.
