the word is fresh

Wondering how to tell if a fish is fresh? Well, then you first have to define what fresh is, right?

For a professional chef, fresh fish is a fish that will be served within 3 days of its being caught.

The Japanese meaning of fresh fish is it is served within 24 hours after it was caught.

While to others, a fish is fresh if it has not been frozen.

Now here are some guidelines on determining a fish' freshness:

1. The fish should smell fresh and mild and not fishy.

2. The flesh should be resilient. It should bounce back when pressed.

3. The eyes should be clear and a little bulgy.

4. The scales should not be dried up.

5. The gills should be bright.

Now you know how to tell if a fish is fresh. But no matter how fresh the fish is if it's not stored properly it will spoil easily.

baby boom

It seems that everywhere I turn someone's getting pregnant. Well, that is except for me... First a co-worker who got married after we did, next another co-worker, then my bestfriend, followed by a girl who's trying so hard to be a part of our family, and now another a colleague. I am getting frustrated but I know that I can't do anything about it since hubs and I aren't together. He is in Europe while I'm here in 'Pinas. I really hope we can be together soon so we can try getting preggers too!
