If you have never dared\u00a0to buy fresh fish from the local wet market or supermarket before, or you have but never knew what to look out for, then this article is for you – A Beginner’s Guide of the 10 things you\u00a0must<\/span>\u00a0know<\/strong> when choosing fresh fish to avoid being duped into buying a fish that is stale or ‘lokok’. Do also check out our\u00a0Foodie’s Must Have Guide to 10 Common Fish<\/strong> used in our local dishes<\/strong><\/a>, their names in different dialects, and how to identify them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Look at the eyes of the fish<\/strong>\u00a0– Most people know that you should choose fish with bright and clear-looking eyes (see photo below:\u00a0top), not dull-looking eyes which have started to turn whitish (see photo below: bottom).\"How_to_choose_fish\" \"How_to_choose_fish\"Not everyone knows that there is an exception to this rule – the Asian\u00a0Sea Bass (also known as Barramundi, \u91d1\u76ee\u9c88 in Chinese and Kim Bak Lor in Hokkien – which translated literally means ‘Golden-Eye Fish’) naturally have cloudy-looking opaque eyes (see photo below), so the clear-eyes rule does not apply here! Check also that\u00a0the eyes of the fish are not\u00a0bloodshot – this means the fish was under stress when caught.\"How_to_choose_fish\"<\/li>\n
  2. Look at the gills<\/strong>\u00a0– Open up the cheek flap of the fish to look at the gills. The gills of the fish should be bright red (the colour of fresh blood) as pictured below. If it is dark red or blackish, the fish is not fresh!<\/li>\n
  3. Look at the scales<\/strong>\u00a0– The scales of the fish should be intact. If the scales are starting to drop off, or look patchy, the fish is not fresh. The scales should have a shiny and shimmery look<\/li>\n
  4. Look at the fins and tails<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0all the fins and the tail should be\u00a0fully intact, not dropping off or broken.<\/li>\n
  5. Look at the belly<\/strong>\u00a0– Avoid fish with\u00a0bloated bellies – the fish is not fresh, and could have already been dead when caught.<\/li>\n
  6. Smell the fish<\/strong>\u00a0– It should smell fresh and mildly fishy, but it should not be smelly or have a very fishy or rotten smell.<\/li>\n
  7. Feel the fish<\/strong>\u00a0– The fish should feel\u00a0slippery and slimy (as if it is covered in egg white) – the slimier, the better. This means that the fish is freshly caught.<\/li>\n
  8. Lightly press the fish<\/strong>\u00a0– The fish should be firm to touch<\/li>\n
  9. Look at the colour of the meat<\/strong>\u00a0– For fish cutlets, ensure that the meat is slightly pinkish and not white (except for white based fish such as\u00a0cod). This means the fish is fresh. The two photos below are good examples of how fresh fish cutlets should look (top: Indian Threadfin or Ngor Her and bottom: Spanish Mackerel or Batang)\"How_to_choose_fish\"\"How_to_choose_fish\"<\/li>\n
  10. Look at the colour of the bloodclots<\/strong>\u00a0– Check that\u00a0the blood clots around the fish bone are fresh red (see the two photos above), and not dark red or blackish. Some dishonest\u00a0fishmongers use the trick of smearing the fresh blood of other fish onto fish which is not fresh. To avoid being duped, it is best to check the bone when the fish is being freshly cut. If you find the fish is not fresh, you should not hesitate to reject it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thanks for reading all 10 tips for\u00a0choosing the freshest\u00a0fish! Don’t forget to read our article on\u00a06 Simple Steps to scale and clean fish like a Pro<\/a>! And n<\/strong>ow here’s a\u00a0bonus tip for you:\u00a0<\/strong>If you are\u00a0buying a fish steak cutlet, ask for the section which is about\u00a0one-third above the tail. \"How_to_choose_fish\"Avoid getting the\u00a0section close to the tail, as it does not have much meat.\u00a0You should also\u00a0avoid the stomach section because it can be bitter, especially if the gall breaks during filleting. You can identify the stomach section by the large cavity in the centre of the fish steak.\"How_to_choose_fish\"<\/p>\n
