How To Choose Fish

Fresh Fish should have bright eyes, clear, red gills, stiff body, and smell fresh.

Salmon and Cod should have a small head, thick shoulders, and a small tail. The flesh of salmon should be bright red, scales bright.

Eels should be bought alive.

Crabs and Lobsters should be heavy and very stiff.

How To Choose Eggs

If the eggs rattle when shaken, they are bad. The best plan is to put them in a basin of water, and see if they lie on their side; should the egg turn upon its end, it is bad.
