When purchasing fresh fish (for example, salmon, sole, tilapia, or halibut), always look for flesh that is moist and translucent. Regardless of whether you are buying fillets or a whole fish, it should have a sweet, fresh scent and never smell “fishy.” Depending on whether or not you’re going to use it right away, inquire as to whether the fish has been previously frozen. If it has already been thawed, then you know you should use it right away. Always cook fish within a day or two of purchase.
