Healthy Fish & Seafood Recipes

Never buy cans that are dented.
Don't buy frozen seafood if the package is dented or open.
Selecting Fresh Seafood

The eyes should be clear, not foggy. The gills should be bright red or pink with no slime.
The fish should smell like an ocean, not fishy.
Scales will be shiny and cling to the skin when fresh.
Steaks and fillets will be moist with no discoloration when fresh.
Storing
Store fresh fish in its original wrapper.
If not cooked in 1 or 2 days: Wrap the fish in in an airtight bag to protect from air and moisture and put it in your freezer.
Keep raw seafood and utensils away from cooked or ready to serve foods.
