Red fish is a popular treat for various holidays, but you can’t always find a quality product in the store.

It is very important not to buy such fish from someone or at a market if the outlet does not have the appropriate license.

Experts strongly recommend paying attention to the color - it should be uniform and free of yellow spots.

Yellow spots in most cases indicate fat oxidation.

What else should you pay attention to when buying?

Red fish should have a natural color - it can be more saturated due to the special nutrition of the fish.

But if the color is too bright or even pink, this may indicate the presence of dyes in the product.

It is also recommended to take a closer look at the surface of the fish. The muscle tissue should have moderate density - no delamination or damage.

The ideal set of components is fish and salt. Sometimes preservatives are allowed, namely sorbic and benzoic acid.
