To make sure you buy fresh fish and seafood, find out when they are getting it and plan your menu accordingly.
Inspect your fish
Be sure the fish has bright eyes, red gills, firm flesh and shiny, smooth skin. Feel it; it should not have a foul odor .
Make sure the molluscs are of good quality
Oysters and fresh mussels should be well closed . If their shells are open, it's a sign they've been hanging around for a while. When you buy live molluscs like lobster and crab, make sure they are active in the tank . Scallops are sold flaked; make sure they do not soak in a milky liquid . Regarding shrimp , buy them uncooked and frozen since they do not keep long. With the greater Prawns Fish Market the details come perfectly now.
Buy without drowning your ecological conscience
Avoid eating overfished fish and seafood . Before you go shopping, check out the Red List of Greenpeace Canada to find the fish to avoid.
Choose the right fish for your meal
Lean fish like cod, halibut and perch are better for soup because they do not break down easily. Salmon and mackerel are fatter. They are rich in omega-3 and make excellent main courses .
Do you supply at fishmongers, in shops or markets?
They are professionals and their tight supply allows them to closely monitor the quality and freshness of their products at the rate of arrivals and tides.
Do not forget oysters, mussels and other molluscs
Man has learned for a long time to raise them without inputs, relying on the natural resource lavished on him by the marine environment.
Do not blindly trust guides to buy "sustainable" fish
Often published by environmental organizations, most distinguish species that are threatened, and thus avoid, from those that can be safely consumed. In reality, things are not so simple. One species may be overexploited in one area while stocks are abundant in another.
