How to Choose Fresh Goby Fish
- When buying, choose goby fish that are of moderate size, with smooth, shiny skin, and clear patterns, visibly having a certain transparency on the fish’s skin.
- Fresh goby fish will feel firm and elastic when lifted, with the body not being soft or having a foul smell.
- Avoid buying fish that have been stored for too long with cloudy colors, a fishy smell, and a soft body. Moreover, do not choose fish that are too large, as they will not taste good when eaten.
