seafood if handled properly
can result in a culinary experience without equal. Seafood in
general is much more susceptible to abuse due to its natural delicate
nature. Seafood needs to be refrigerated at all times. If you
buy seafood at the grocery store you need to take it home immediately
and put it in the refrigerator.
Seafood is a very delicate commodity to handle and
prepare. The main concern with seafood quality is temperature
abuse. Seafood must be kept refrigerated from the time it is caught
to the time it is prepared for cooking or the result is usually
soft and smelly fish. Three ways to tell quality seafood: smell
it, touch it and look at it. If it smells fishy then it’s
probably not fresh. When you touch it, if your finger print remains
imprinted on the skin then it’s not fresh. Look at the eyes
of the fish and if they are milky in color then it’s not
fresh. The skin shouldn't look dry or discolored in anyway. With
this in mind, shopping for seafood can be a rewarding culinary
experience.
