Is there a way to tell if the fish I bought is fresh?

Yes, there are several ways you can tell if the fish you bought is fresh. First, look at the color of the eyes and gills. If they are bright red or pink, the fish is likely still alive. Second, feel the texture of the fish. A fresh fish will have firm flesh that feels slightly springy when gently pressed. Third, check for any signs of spoilage such as an unpleasant smell or sliminess. Finally, ask your fishmonger if he has a good supply of recently caught fish.
