I watch the "Good Eats" show on the Food channel. They say you should stay as far away from them as you can!! You do not know how long the seafood has sat there, where it is from, when it was caught or processed. It definitely has not been kept cold enough for what ever time you think and how/when it was shipped.

After watching the one on that particular subject, I swear to go to a seafood shop or the local grocery store.

One way you can tell if fish is fresh is to smell it - it should not smell like fish.

There was a Shoprite in NJ that I used to got to. Sometimes you passed the fish area and had to hold your breath.
