What are some tips for choosing the best seafood at local markets?

When visiting local seafood markets in Sutherland Shire, look for freshness indicators like clear, bright eyes on fish and shells that are tightly closed for shellfish. This usually means they are fresh and of good quality. • Don't hesitate to ask the staff about their daily catches or specials; they can provide insight into what's freshest that day and even suggest cooking tips. • If you can, visit in the morning when the seafood is likely to be at its freshest, as many vendors restock early and cater to local chefs.
