Tips on Choosing Fish

Scene on "foodie's diary - seattle"

• slimy, aspic on top of fish = freshness
• scales - want to feel it..if can't feel it, fish was thrown around and mishandled after it was caught
• halibut - green hue is good
• ling cod - BAD - inside flesh is reddish - means the fish struggled at death therefore blood taste in the flesh
• long cod - GOOD - inside is white and no red in the flesh - no struggle, clean taste
