Is it safe to eat fish that is still alive when I buy it?

It depends on the species of fish and how long you plan to keep it. Generally, it’s best to avoid buying live fish from markets or other sources where there are no established protocols for keeping them alive until they reach your home. If you purchase a live fish and intend to keep it alive, make sure you have proper equipment such as a tank with adequate filtration and water changes, as well as food specifically formulated for aquarium fish.
