How to choose fresh fish
- You should buy fresh fish that has a shiny body, no slime, and no bad smell.
- The anus of fresh fish is pale white and deeply sunken, with a flat belly.
- Press your hand on the fish flesh; if it is elastic and does not leave a mark, then it is fresh fish.
- If it sinks when pressed, the anus bulges out, is pink or dark red, and the belly swells, then it is spoiled fish, you should not buy it.
How to choose delicious crispy green mangoes
- You should buy Keo mango or Phu Quy mango to prepare the dish. It will be crispier and tastier than regular mangoes.
- Choose mangoes that are still green, fragrant, and feel firm in hand as these are fresh fruits just picked.
- It is advisable to select mangoes that are not too ripe, with skin still green or starting to turn yellow, and avoid those with unusual colors or large black spots on the skin.
