Buy Your Seafood Safely!
Buy Fresh Seafood ONLY from reputable dealers who keep their products refrigerated or properly iced.
Be wary, for example, of vendors selling fish out of their creel (canvas bag) or out of the back of their truck!
Once you buy the seafood, put it on ice ASAP, in the refrigerator or in the freezer.
Do NOT buy cooked seafood: shrimp, crabs or smoked fish, if displayed in the same case as raw fish! Cross-contamination can occur.
(Or make sure the raw fish is on a level lower than the cooked fish so that the raw fish juices don't flow
onto the cooked items and contaminate them).
Do NOT buy frozen seafood if the packages are open, torn or crushed on the edges.
Avoid packages that are above the frost line in the store's freezer.
If the package cover is transparent, look for signs of frost or ice crystals.
This could mean that the fish has either been stored for a long time or thawed and refrozen.
Recreational fishers who plan to eat their catch should follow local government advisories about fishing areas
and eating fish from certain areas.
