00:00If you have bought fish from the markets, place it in a bowl of water.
00:03If it sinks, it is fresh. If it floats, it has gone bad.
00:07Here is why this works.
00:08A fresh fish is dense and firm, full of moisture, so it sinks straight to the bottom.
00:14But once a fish starts to rot, gases build up inside the flesh as the bacteria break it down,
00:20and those gases make it float just like a balloon.
00:23We Amish have always known your nose and your eyes will tell you everything if you know what to look
00:28for.
00:28A fresh fish has clear eyes, firm flesh that springs back when you press it,
00:33and it snows like clean water, not sharp or sour.
00:37If it snows off or feels mushy, walk away no matter what the label says.
00:42Comment yes if you did not know this.
