Buying & storing

  • Frozen fillets are often half the price of fresh and just as good once cooked
  • A fishmonger will sell it loose into your own container
  • Look for MSC or ASC certification if provenance matters to you

Keep it well: Keep in the coldest part of the fridge and cook within a day, or freeze on the day you buy it.
