I was cheated yesterday when I bought fish.

I had a rest yesterday and went to catch the sea with my husband.

In fact, we don’t have any experience in traveling to sea. My husband is a "sea-going fan", and what he most likes to watch online every day is the sea-going videos played on video accounts.

Watching those video bloggers picking up octopus, tiger fish, conches, crabs and so on at the beach is really exciting and exciting, so he is always itchy in his heart. I want to catch the sea myself.

After driving for an hour and a half, we came to a beach on the nearest seaside. The water had begun to recede.

But there were very few people at the beach. I only saw three or four people on the beach, but there was nothing on the beach except empty shells.

Four or five fishermen took advantage of the low tide of the sea and used a vehicle that could drive on the sand to pull a car full of small shells and scatter shell seeds to their breeding areas in the sea.

We couldn’t catch the sea, and my husband said: Wife, we haven’t caught the sea, and we didn’t catch any seafood. Can we buy some from the head office? I said okay and the leader approved it.

When we arrived at the seafood market, we split up. He was responsible for buying shellfish and I volunteered to buy fish.

Because shellfish must be alive, I have no experience and don’t know how to choose. But before buying fish, he told me to look at the gills. If the gills are deep red and not white, then it is a good fish.

When I went home to pack the fish, I discovered a problem: the fish was no longer fresh in its belly.

My husband called me to the kitchen to guide me on the spot. Look at the gills. Although they are red, you may not notice that the color is pink. The important thing is that they are dyed. Following my husband's finger, I took a closer look, and sure enough, there were traces of dyeing on other parts around the gills. It seemed that I had overlooked the details.

At the same time, because I was afraid of the fishy smell, I did not check the softness and hardness of the fish with my hands. I believed the old lady selling the fish who said it was a fish just caught by her own fishing boat.

My husband told me that after the fresh fish dies, the body of the fish should be hard, but the fish I bought was so soft that it seemed like it had no bones. In fact, the real reason was that it was out of the water. If it has been kept for a long time without refrigeration, the protein in the fish will be decomposed and it will no longer be fresh.

This time I have gained experience.
