Notes
Shopping for fresh Salmon
- If you can smell it, make sure it doesn’t smell fishy. Fresh salmon shouldn’t have any kind of fishy smell.
- Avoid fresh salmon that appears dried out or has brown spots or bruising.
- The flesh should be vibrantly colored and not anemic or pale looking.
- If you’re purchasing frozen or pre-packaged salmon, make sure there is a tight seal around the packaging and that it isn’t broken anywhere or open.
