Since my wife works far from our place, she comes home late at night. So, I am doing what she was supposed to do for us like shopping and cooking dinner. Almost everyday, I am encountering this "problem" on buying fresh meat and fish. I can't figure out if those meat or fish were fresh. Upon reaching our house to prepare those, on washing, I found fish as soft with foul smell on their stomach. I was advised to choose fish with "hard" body and clear eyes. How could I then recognize fresh fish when you informed me that if they are stiff (Hard) with fresh eyes are preserved with formalin. Thanks!

BTW nursing students in our local schools are able to secure formalin solution for their anatomy class in a local funeraria but it was just tingi because they cannot find a wholesaler here. so i think that story of formalin being added to fishes might be partly true but must be back up with solid evidences. thank you hello! just want to inform you that formalin or formaldehyde are very seldom available in drugstores and market in general. here in our province for example in mindoro we have reports of such stuff being done by fish vendors. upon thorough investigations we found out none were practicing such thing but others are using red food color to enhanced appearance of soldierfishes and squirrelfishes local name (Baga-baga) sometimes we call it Tingin.

Formaldehyde is one chemical. Do you mean impurities and contaminants? Sarah, what do you mean on the last phrase require studies to determine the “various chemicals it composes”.

Using chemicals one must realized there is a minimum concentration that will have negligible risk. So,the question is, what is that concentration, that will be beneficial with out the risk. The answer is ,it varies from chemical to chemical and studies has to be conducted to determine that concentration. Have a good day!
