Smart Shopping at the Fish Market 🛒
Shopping smart at the fish market can save you serious money and get you better quality fish!
Buy whole fish and save big:
Whole fish can cost 50-60% less per pound than fillets. Sellers cut and freeze fish that does not sell quickly, so whole fish gives you a better look at freshness.
Nothing goes to waste:
Use the bones, head, and scraps to make a rich fish broth - just add parsley, onion, and carrots. It is packed with collagen and nutrients!
Best fish by season:
- Most fish: Great from early May onward
- Tuna: Wait until September for peak quality
- Lobster: Available and good all year round
Buying whole is smarter, cheaper, and gives you more to work with.
