Klein's Fish Market & Waterside Cafe

How to choose? There's no real mystery to buying fish and seafood, says Ollie, a soft -Spoken, Pleasant faced man of fifty-five, but it does require some knowledge-both in selecting fish and in the market. "In most fish markets today, the fish is already filleted. So the most important things to look for a color and texture. The fish should have a vibrant color. After it sits a while, it gets a washed-out look. If it has a brownish tint, you know it has had too much time on it. With texture, it depends on the fish, but it should be firm, not squishy. Also the fish should be resting on ice. And no smell. ' Fresh fish don't Smell, was my grandfather's favorite saying". The same applies to the fish market, he says. If it smells fishy-not a fresh sea smell-or has an ammonia smell, turn around and find another.
