Fish mostly need crushed ice to preserve for 24 hours and until sold. In Europe fish without ice means prison.

Thank you for educating me on European regulations. We don’t have such a rigid requirement here, but whether the fish is fresh or not can be seen through many physical indicators. People who often visit the market basically have this experience.

@@Exploring-China In the city where I live, which is by the sea with a commercial fishery, I never buy fish from the public market, even if they are licensed and comply with the rules. I prefer a shop specializing in fresh fish and again not all is good. Some fish sellers in my town use illegal chemicals to delay the expiration date. Antibiotics, Boric acid etc. The good thing about China is that some traders sell live fish which is definitely proof of freshness.

@@nicokyriak I also grew up in a seaside city, and seafood of all kinds is my favorite food. The problems you mentioned should be relatively common phenomena, especially in inland cities far away from the sea. What we are most afraid of now is actually the nuclear sewage discharged by Japan. We basically no longer eat many filter-feeding shellfish.
