]]>Here are three tricks you should use to ensure you’re buying fresh, good quality seafood at the supermarket!
If you’re buying pre-packaged seafood, it is always crucial to look for a packaged date, which will show you when the product you’re buying was prepared to sell. If it exceeds more than 2 or 3 days, you might want to avoid it.
Did you know that Mondays are the worst day to buy seafood at the supermarket? Fishermen generally don’t go out to work on Sundays, which means the freshest catch you’ll be able to buy on a Monday will be at least a couple of days old. Going on the other days throughout the week is a safer idea.
Even if a package shows fish or seafood still hasn’t reached its expiration date, an unpleasant smell can tell you that you should be avoiding it. So, trust your nose and don’t buy any foul-smelling fish or shellfish.

]]>We love the combination of the flavors of garlic and soy sauce, which we have are the bases of one of our go-to marinade choices when preparing fish. It works especially well with strong flavors like salmon, tuna, and mahi-mahi, but can really be used for any type of fish that you like.
Here’s how to make it!
The instructions for using this marinade are really quite simple. All you need to do is combine these ingredients in a container such as a plastic bag or a Tupperware container, stir them together thoroughly, and then add the piece of fish to the marinade.
Let the fish sit in the marinade for 2-4 hours in order to ensure that the garlic soy marinade flavor is imbued. After that, just prepare the fish however you’d like to, and enjoy!

The Atlantic cod is a very rare breed right now, so we all have to think about that first before ordering.
