"Hmm. I suggest you not choose a big one if you're making stew." Marshall looked at the fish and pointed to one of them that had slightly sunken eyes. "Don't choose the ones with bulging or cloudy-looking eyes either because they're no longer fresh. It’s best to avoid ones that are too dark in color too.
