Storing and Proper Handling of Fishes

FISH FRESHNESS

The freshness of the fish is the single most important factor in a fish dish. Not only is it more flavorful,
but also reduces possible allergic reactions. Here’s a quick and easy way to find out
the freshness of a fish.
1. Eyes
The eyes are clear and full, not sunken and not red.
2. Gills
Check the gills, they have to be bright red and should be free from slime and dirt.
3. Smell
Smell it. The fish has to be free from objectionable odor. Fresh fish should not smell fishy but have mild seaweed-like odor.
4. Flesh
The flesh is firm to the touch and doesn’t sink when you press it.
5. Scales
The scales are bright and shiny. It should also be clinging to the skin.

Proper Fish Storage
1. Clean the fish before storing.
2. Remove the gills and innards if it’s still there, and cut the fins.
3. To store for a longer period, the wrapping should be air and moisture proof.
You can use aluminum foil, and even a sealed plastic bag or food container works just as well
