Whole Fish FAQs
How do I choose a whole fish?
Consider what you plan to cook and how many people you are serving. Ask about the fish available and request guidance on freshness, size, and preparation to help narrow your choice.
Can I ask for preparation advice?
Yes. Ask the market for practical suggestions on handling and cooking the fish you choose. Advice can vary by species and preparation method, so share the recipe or cooking approach you have in mind.
How should I store whole fish after buying it?
Keep fish cold on the way home and refrigerate it promptly. Store it in a covered container over ice, keeping it separate from other foods. Ask the market how soon to cook your specific purchase.
