- Buying fresh fish: Live is best!.
- Second option: On ice, with clear eyes. (and cheaper per pound for same fish).
- If cloudy, not great choice. He's been there a while..
- Choose option number one!.
- Put a plastic bag over your hand and take the fish..
- Gut and descale. ¡Gracias! One of the great things about California is that even at a Chinese food market I can speak Spanish. I just shout, "Tengo solo esto!" plastic bag in hand, move to the front of the line and out of the crowd musing over what to cook for dinner!.

- Thank you for trying pesce acqua pazza recipe! Optional: Make Fish bone broth with reserved bones. Tastes great in soups and very good for you in health benefits..
- Fish bone broth: Conserve all bones and extras. Add 4 cups filtered water with 1 tbs apple cider vinegar (need enough water to cover fish bones.)And bring to boil..
- Reduce heat to simmer. Add garlic, peppercorns, bay leaf, shallots and any other spices. This will depend on future use. I keep simple, just pepper and bay leaves and add spice as I cook in other recipes. Simmer for 2 hours..
- Remove any scum/ fat that rises to top. (If using fresh, organic will be minimal).
- Strain though cheese cloth..
- Allow to cool to workable temp..
- Put in container to store, pressing out air. (I use baggies, be sure to label).
- Freeze flat and then store in plastic tray like index cards..
