 Fish meat continues to maintain its popularity among the most basic nutrients of the body, thanks to its protein and many unsaturated fatty acids.

 Since fish is a perishable food, it should be kept in the freezer and should not be consumed when it is found to be spoiled. The way to understand stale fish is to look into their eyes.

Since fish is a perishable food, it must be stored properly. If there is a large amount of fishing, hide-and-seek tents are used in shock warehouses when they are sold by the fishermen during the day. If we are not different in accordance with the health conditions, the fish will spoil quickly and if fish lovers do not know the difference between fresh fish and stale fish, food poisoning will occur.

 In order to understand that the fish is defective, you must first pay attention to the eye part of the fish. In stale fish, the eyes will remain flat while they lose their brightness, while in fresh fish the eyes are in a semi-circle shape. Fresh fish's eyes are brighter, and stale fish's eyes become flatter than half-circles due to the loss of water in their bodies.

 In addition to the eye structure, you can perform the sniffing process to understand the deterioration of the fish. Stale fish has a very unpleasant odor. Sharp and irritating. Fresh fish, on the other hand, has a pleasant smell because it is like the smell of the sea, similar to the smell of deprivation.

 Mouth structures are also different in deteriorated fish. Since their physiological characteristics are lost, their mouths stay open and the gas formed in the fish is the main reason for this situation. You can search for your fish by just looking at this situation.

 Another important clue showing that the fish is stale is the structure of the scales on the gills and outer surfaces. While the scales on the gill surface of fresh fish look bright, the gills and outer surfaces of stale fish have a more opaque color, which you can easily distinguish.

 When you hold the tail of the fish and lift it upwards, it should stand upright. The other thing you should pay attention to at this point is If there is a stunned fish, it may also stand upright due to the cold, but it does not mean that it is not stale.

Fresh fish can stand upright, so you can easily understand the quality of the fish by looking at its temperature and standing upright.

 Fresh fish sinks to the bottom of the water because there is water in it. The fish will stay up when it is bad. This is another important factor that allows us to distinguish it quickly.

 When buying fish, definitely sea fish should be preferred and cultured fish should be avoided. Recently, protective chemicals have been sprayed on fish. This situation adversely affects human health. Small fish grown in the sea should be preferred instead of large and farm-raised fish.
