Fish Tips
Some whole fish have color
striations when they are extremely fresh. Mahi-mahi for instance, has yellow and
blue in the skin when it is right out of the water. Not having the color doesn't
mean the fish is too old; just not right out of the water. Mackerel, too, can be
quite beautiful, with green and blue markings. |
