Whether it will be carp or another type of fish, most Bulgarians will follow the tradition of St. Nicholas Day will prepare a fish dish. It is around the holiday, however, that many unfair traders appear, which is why you have to be careful with the fish on offer.
Fresh carp will undoubtedly be the most preferred for this St. Nicholas Day as well. Whether it is fresh or not, you can judge by the color of the gills - they should be red, not in dark shades or sticky.
Edible fish must be intact. This means that there should be no injuries on it. The scales must be smooth, shiny and well attached to the skin.
The mucus on the fish should be completely transparent and not cloudy. If it releases an unpleasant fat other than the characteristic smell of fish, do not buy fish from this dealer.
The standing fish is also recognizable by running your fingers over its skin. If they leave traces, the fish is not fresh. The eyes of fresh fish are transparent and clear, not cloudy.
Fish traders must have a document of origin of the goods, a veterinary certificate and documents authorizing the trade in fish, according to the BFSA.
It is better to buy the fish whole, not the fillets, because if it is cut, it will be harder to judge whether it is fresh.
The Food Agency advises you not to buy fish from suspicious objects such as car trunks and unregulated stalls, as these products have not been inspected by the control authorities and through their consumption you can put your health at risk.
The BFSA will inspect all sites offering fish to itself St. Nicholas Day. Fish ponds, commercial sites, sites for production and wholesale and retail of food, as well as catering establishments will be inspected.
The fish's shelf life, storage temperature and documents of origin will be monitored.
