1. Poke the body - If it's soft and squidgy, give the fishmonger a dirty look. Good fish always has a firm body.
2. Check the eyes - If it's dull and murky, give it a miss. The fishmonger will know that you are a discerning fish lover and pull out better fish.
3. How pink are the gills - lift the flap, if the gills are dark and veering on black, walk away. The fishmonger will call you back with the freshest catch with fresh pink gills.
