How to choose & cook
Selection Guide :
Fresh : Look for clear eyes, bright red gills, firm flesh that springs back when pressed, and a fresh ocean scent.
Steamed : Choose plump fish with intact skin, clear eyes, and a clean, savory aroma without sour notes.
Cooking & Storage :
Cooking Tips : Ideal for steaming, grilling, or air-frying with minimal added oil to preserve its natural healthy fats (great for spicy mackerel dips, salads, or fried rice).
Storage : Flake cooked meat into an airtight container and refrigerate at 0–4°C for 2–3 days, or freeze at -18°C for up to a month.
