Tips for Finding the Freshest Fish at the Market

There are many factors that can affect the freshness of a fish. One major factor is temperature. Fish should be stored in refrigerated temperatures to keep them fresh.

Fish cannot be held at room temperature for more than two to four hours while they are still alive and there is a chance that they will spoil. If you buy the fish early in the morning, it will have been in a cold fridge all night and should be fine for up to six hours.

It’s also important not to store your fish with vegetables or other produce because the produce releases gases which help accelerate spoilage and even lead to bacterial growth on your fish. The best place for storing your fish is on top of ice, or if you don’t have any ice, put them in a container with cold water and tightly.
