Veteran Fishmonger: My Secret to Picking Fresh Fish at Costco

Veteran Fishmonger: My Secret to Picking Fresh Fish at Costco After more than 30 years behind a fish counter, I've learned that picking good fish isn't about trusting the sign, the packaging, or the word “fresh.” It's about knowing what to look for. In this video, I'm taking you inside Costco and showing you the simple tricks I use to spot better fish, avoid old or poorly handled seafood, and know when frozen is actually the smarter choice. I'll show you exactly what to check before you put that fish in your cart — including the liquid inside sealed packages, color, gaping, ice crystals, glazing, ingredients, and those little details most shoppers walk right past.

Sometimes the frozen bag sitting in Costco's freezer is the smarter buy and I'll show you exactly how to recognize it. 💬 COMMENT BELOW: What's the fish you usually buy at Costco?
