Quality Fresh Seafood

We understand your concern how to differentiate fresh seafood from not so fresh. Here is a guide which will help you buy fresh food each time.

• Fish

• Eyes tell the story

Go for the bright and clear eyed fish. Dull eye is a way of fish telling you that it’s not fresh at all.

• Uses your other sense and smell it

Yes, smell the fish and if it smells like seawater. Never ever buy a bad smelling fish. Also, if it smells like strong chlorine, drop it. Some fishermen coat their fishes in chlorine to sell their old catch.

• Take a look at Gills

Fresh fish exhibits red rich color of gills. If not fresh, gills will be like of faded brick color.

• Overall look at it

• Prawns

Perform the same drill here as you did while buying fish.

• Eyes tell the story

Eyes must have a protruding appearance in the head and should appear shiny or glossy.

• Smell the prawn

This should also smell like seawater. Never ever buy a bad smelling or chlorine smelling prawn.

• Touch and Feel

Drop dry and tough prawns and buy moist and firm.

• Look at it

It should have a shiny and good appearance and if there is a black spot on the shell, it’s no longer fresh.
