How to choose fresh and delicious mackerel
- Choose fresh fish with clear and bulging eyes; if the eyes are sunken or cloudy, do not buy them as they may be spoiled.
- Fresh mackerel will have shiny, reflective scales and a reddish-pink gill color; when pressed, it should feel firm and elastic.
- Avoid buying fish with swollen bellies, slimy surfaces, or a foul smell, as they will not be safe to eat.
