Ask About the Fish
Inquire about the type of fish, its origin, and how it was caught to ensure freshness and sustainability.
Consider the Sauce Pairing
The sauce should complement the fish, not overpower it. Light, acidic sauces work well with oily fish, while richer sauces can pair well with milder varieties.
Enjoy Immediately
Fresh fish is best enjoyed as soon as possible after cooking to savor its optimal flavor and texture.
Check for Bones
While chefs usually take care to remove bones, it's always wise to be mindful, especially with certain types of fish.
