FISH EXPERT OF THE WEEK: David Bracher

Fishmonger extraordinaire! David is involved in all aspects of product selection, production, and fabrication...

On May 10th, FultonFishMarket.com invited our own experts, chefs and guest a-fish-ionados to help us taste test candidates for the coveted Fulton Fresh Salmon recommendation on our FultonFishMarket.com consumer site.

There are two words that cannot exist without each other: “FISH” and “FRESH”. So how do you know your fish and seafood are as fresh as they can be? Well, it’s a sensory thing, and it always starts with your sense of smell.

Two weeks ago we talked about Larry Olmsted’s book: Real Food, Fake Food, and how fraudulent seafood was stealing from us the joy of great tasting fresh seafood.

Last week we discussed all that cheap, imported (and bad tasting) seafood in your local supermarket and most restaurants, and how the system is rigged toward fraud and dishonesty (sometimes called creative marketing.) Again, the victim is you, your taste-buds, your health and the health of the world’s waterways.

Last week we gave our take on the July 10th New York Post article which covered Larry Olmsted’s book entitled Real Food, Fake Food, and how fraudulent seafood was stealing from us the joy of great tasting fresh seafood.

This week we want to dig just a bit deeper into why so much food in general, and seafood specifically, is fake. It has a great deal to do with the desire of the food industry to deliver inexpensive food to our shelves.
