OUR QUALITY EXPECTATION
Smell & texture
The gills would have a smell of the sea and the meat a bouncing effect. There should be no damage to the skin or sign of disease infection.
Eyes
The eyes should be black and the ring around of the eye clear. There should not be cloudy eyes or blood stain around the eyes which may indicate prolonged exposure to ice water.
Gills
Gills should normally be red with slime. A pink gill probably would indicate that the fish was caught days before and soaked in water over prolonged duration.
