Fresh fish is a fantastic protein for a variety of delicious dishes, but the easiest way to ruin a good meal is to start off with bad ingredients. Hopefully our easy fish guide can steer you towards selecting the best fresh fish for your next feast. Just remember to stay away from any fish with a "fishy smell," pay attention to how the fish is displayed, look into the fish's eyes (and it's skin) and never be afraid to ask your local fishmonger when the fish arrived and where it was shipped from. A reputable vendor will delight in telling you the origin of the catch and steer you towards the day's best selections.
