At any good seafood market, the useful question is what came in that morning: staff at a busy counter will usually say, and their answer beats yesterday's cabinet stock. Freshness shows in clear, bright eyes on whole fish, firm springy flesh and a clean sea smell rather than a fishy one. Kina quality also swings with the season, so it pays to ask before buying. Whole fish cut to order is often the best value in the shop.
Inside the Taiping supermarket at 92 Rosedale Road, Oceanz turns the weekly grocery run into a chance for genuinely fresh fish.
