Signals to Reduce Hesitation in Front of the Fish Market
How to Check Freshness of Autumn Seafood Using Eyes, Gills, Shells, and Smells
At the seafood stalls, signals that can be directly verified are more useful than the phrase 'just arrived today'. For fish, check the clarity of the eyes, the elasticity of the flesh, and the condition of the scales, while for shellfish, look at the shells and leg joints, and for mollusks, observe the shell response and smell. However, since you cannot determine freshness based on just one characteristic, you should also verify the refrigeration temperature, origin, and storage labels.
This list divides seafood like fish such as mackerel and hairtail, and shellfish like flower crabs, shrimp, squid, octopus, and mussels into purchasing situations. It explains to avoid poking or handling live seafood recklessly and instead to request confirmation from sellers. The criteria for products intended for sashimi and those that need to be fully cooked are not the same, so discussing the intended consumption method and travel time before properly packaging is the starting point.

Selecting Mackerel
The first item to look at in 《Signals to Reduce Hesitation in Front of the Fish Market》 is selecting mackerel. Check that the eyes are clear, the body is firm, and the scales adhere relatively well.

When selecting mackerel, do not determine freshness and quality based on just one appearance or the seller's expression. First, check the origin, catch or farming label, refrigeration or freezing state, and packaging date, and then compare signals such as eyes, smell, and elasticity. If you plan to consume mackerel as sashimi, inform the seller of its intended use, and if travel time is long, be sure to keep it cold with ice packs.
The first among a total of eight, selecting mackerel shows clear differences in criteria compared to the preceding and following sections. When first checking for mackerel, decide the required amount and cooking method, and on the second check, calculate the time needed for storage and preparation.

The key to selecting good seafood is not one flashy color, but checking if various signals match each other. Clear eyes may still be a sign of unstable refrigeration, and even lively seafood requires a separate check on origin and storage history. For packaged products, read the expiration date, storage temperature, and whether they have been thawed, and specifically inquire in the market about when the products arrived and if they're suitable for sashimi preparation.
Transportation after purchase is also part of quality assessment. Do not leave products at room temperature for long; instead, transport them cold with ice packs and insulated bags, and once home, clean and either refrigerate or freeze them immediately. If you notice unusual smells, slime, or discoloration and cannot confirm the storage time, it is safer to avoid tasting. Those most vulnerable to foodborne illness, such as pregnant women, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, should prioritize avoiding raw food and eating fully cooked items.
