Tips on Buying Fresh Seafood - Recipes For Seafood

With any seafood, the most important consideration is the freshness of the product.

Clams, mussels,or oysters should be purchased live or freshly harvested. Canned clams can be used in recipes such as chowders, but fresh fish has a much fuller taste.

Buy Your Crabs and Lobsters Live!

Crustaceans such as lobster and crab should always be purchased live if possible, although fresh cooked is the next best option. Prawns and shrimp can be bought fresh, cooked, canned or frozen, but when buying fresh always check the smell and look for any brown spots starting around the head. If there is a strong fishy smell, choose another fish market.

Fresh Fish Doesn't Smell!

When purchasing fresh seafood such as salmon, cod, sole, or halibut there should be no fishy smell and the eyes should be clear. Cloudy looking eyes are a sure sign of old seafood. When the flesh is pressed with your finger it should spring back if it's fresh. The older the seafood, the softer it will be. If the fish hasn't been cleaned, look for a bright red color to the gills.
