Throwing a fish

This morning, I went to the wet market to buy fish and meat. When I arrived home, I simply saw one fish that looked as if it had been in the freezer for ages and it smelled a bit awful. I simply put it in the waste basket. No reason to cook it. It was mixed with the fresh ones. Some vendors really cheat. Well, I won't buy there anymore. Have you encountered the same thing?

I normally buy from the wet fish counter as I have been caught out like that a few times....

@Janet357 it used to be quite a cheap thing to have but in the last few years I think it has got quite expensive. I tend to buy from fresh wet fish stalls not supermarkets

Not something like that because when we buy fish where I live they are wrapped in plastic and sealed. (You can see them.) I would have taken the fish back if it smelled funny.

@Janet357 I see. Having a friend who knows what he's doing is always the best way to get things. You know they are going to be the best you can get when they deliver them.

My friend used to deliver fresh seafoods to us but since he resigned from work, we just buy them from the wet market.

I usually look when vendors are giving me the fish and I show the ones I like with my finger. What you saw can ocurr unless you know the vendor.

If something smells off, best not to eat it, especially fish. That's a low trick to throw a fish that is off in with the good ones.

That was dishonest on the part of the vendor, they cheated you!

@Janet357 Let others know what this lady did, so they don't get cheated, also!

I did, when buying prawn. They mixed new and old. I choose the prawns myself afterward.
