Tips on how to choose a good carp

When buying carp, it’s essential to choose good quality meat. Here are some tips on how to do that:

Look for carp meat with a light pink to red color, translucent scales, and a slightly sweet smell. Avoid meat with a dark color, brown spots, or an unpleasant odor.

Ensure the carp has firm, shiny scales attached to the fish’s body. Avoid fish with loose or discolored scales.

The meat should be firm and springy to the touch. It indicates that the meat is old if it is soft or falling apart.

Proper storage after purchasing carp also plays a crucial role in keeping the meat fresh for as long as possible. Store it in the refrigerator and use it immediately.

By following these tips, you can ensure that you choose fresh and high-quality carp meat for your dishes.
