Fresh fish is handled little and, with care, as soon as it is caught it is immediately placed in crates of crushed ice to maintain a low temperature; finally it is sent to the health control for the verification of the organoleptic and physical characteristics.
We have already seen in a dedicated article (Degradation of fish - conservation of fish) how to recognize a fresh fish from a badly preserved one ... but if it is true that the short supply chain is the only method of sale / supply that guarantees a good duration of the shelf-life (life of the product), it is also true that it can have a way to exist only in proximity (with tolerance of many tens of kilometers) of the place of collection and above all that it should market fish in season.
NB. This discourse concerns exclusively fish caught or reared at national level and in compliance with the regulations on the biological protection of the species; fish taken abroad or in international waters cannot reach the point of sale fresh within the maximum storage time.
Below, we report a small table that summarizes the seasonality of some types of fish, both fresh and salt water; in blue those of salt or brackish water, in green those of fresh water, in violet those of migratory.
