What to look for when shopping for fish
There are many things to look out for when shopping for fish, but most importantly, we want freshness. Remember that fish that is being sold as ‘fresh’ has been previously frozen, for example on board trawlers, which can stay at sea for up to two weeks. So what can you look out for?
