Fresh fish has no fishy smell. Old spoiled fish smells. Been to both places.
yep , catching your own is the best way but the down side , for me any way , is that when you are reduced to having to buy fish nothing seems fresh .
I was complaining at the girl ( she's only about 40 ) at the fish shop and she tells me that "fresh " can be 5 days old . This came about because the 45 bucks worth of fish I bought last time , she told me it was fresh , anyhow we put it in the grocery frozen bag with the frozies , drove 30mins to home , put it in the fridge . 24 hrs later I opens the plastic bag and it fair ponged . I was real brave and cooked it but we didnt eat it .
