Another advantage of small mackerel fish like saury is that they feed on planktonic microorganisms, and there is less concern about pollution from heavy metals and dioxins; from an ecological point of view, saury is at the bottom of the food chain, has a larger population, and has stronger resilience to resources , the public may wish to take the opportunity to buy more of this kind of cheap fish species, and now follow us to pick up the little secrets of fresh saury!

POINT 1 觀察魚眼睛、魚鰓
POINT 1 Observe fish eyes and gills
魚眼睛是辨識任何一種魚類新鮮與否的關鍵，眼珠明亮、清澈飽滿就是首要條件；還能將秋刀魚的魚鰓微微打開，用鼻子近距離聞，正常會帶有淡淡的魚腥味與鹹鹹海水味，反之若是聞到惡臭味或是類似阿摩尼亞的味道，表示魚肉可能開始腐敗。
Fish eyes are the key to distinguishing whether any fish is fresh or not. Bright, clear and full eyes are the first condition; you can also slightly open the gills of saury and smell them closely with your nose. Normally, there will be a faint fishy and salty smell. The smell of sea water, on the contrary, if it smells foul or ammonia-like, it means that the fish may start to spoil.

POINT 2 魚身完整且渾圓飽滿
POINT 2 The fish body is complete and round
從魚頭、魚肚到魚尾皆保持完整，勿挑選斷頭或斷尾的魚身，特別是在腹部需保持光澤度、紋路清晰且帶有些許鱗面藍綠點，魚肚越飽滿完整就表示肉質越鮮美、脂質佳。
The fish head, maw and tail are kept intact. Do not choose a fish body with a broken head or tail. Especially, the belly must maintain glossiness, clear lines and some blue-green spots on the scales. The fuller and more complete the fish maw, the better the quality of the meat. The more delicious, the better the fat.
POINT 3 表面不黏稠
POINT 3 surface is not sticky
可以輕輕觸碰秋刀魚表皮，若不新鮮或在常溫下放置過久，魚身會分泌出黏稠物質，則不建建議選購；反之保存得宜的秋刀魚表層會呈現光滑清爽。
You can lightly touch the skin of the saury. If it is not fresh or stored at room temperature for a long time, the fish body will secrete a viscous substance, so it is not recommended to buy it; otherwise, the surface of the saury that is properly preserved will appear smooth and refreshing.
