How do you know when fish is bad?
Chef's answer
Some common traits of bad fish are a slimy, milky flesh (a thick, slippery coating) and a fishy smell. This is hard because fish is smelly and slimy by nature, but these traits become much more pronounced when fish has gone bad. Fresh fillets should glisten like they came out of water.
