Fresh seal: whole fish: eyes are shiny and slightly bulged outward. The gills are dark red, the fins are wet. Cut fish: cut surface should have a pearly sheen. Skin should be shiny all over. The scales are firmly attached. Fish fillet: firm, transparent shimmering flesh. Lackluster fish is always old. Fresh fish smells at most like the sea or clean river water.

Cooking in a salt mantle: ideal preparation for the tender, white pike-perch meat.

Important: the right salt. Use
