What’s Best Avoided

As soon as a fish is filleted, it starts to deteriorate. It’s best to buy and eat fillets on the same day and if you have a good fishmonger, he can fillet fish on the spot for you. In your supermarket, buy from the fish counter and ask them to cut exactly the pieces you want from their whole fish.

Try to avoid buying your fish on a Monday because that fish was landed at best on Friday.

If you can’t eat your fish straight away, try to maximize freshness by placing a J-cloth on a plate, topping with the fish and covering with clingfilm. This prevents the fish soaking up stale juices and water.
