HOW TO SELECT FRESH FISH

It is trout season and I would like to share some useful tips on how to select fresh fish.

First, fresh fish should have no smell. 

The eyes should be clear and not sunken or depressed 

The skin should be bright and shining. 

The scales should be intact and not missing or brushed off. This means that the fish was handled properly.

The flesh should be tight; in another words; it should bounce back when pressed or touched.

The gills should be moist with bright red color. 

The presence of a little bit of slime on the fish is normal as the fish develops it naturally.
