Your fish experts display

Canadians have increased their consumption of fish by more than 10% over the last fifteen years. In addition to increasing the overall amount, they now opt for a greater variety of fish on their menu.

METRO’s Oceans of Fish counters are always filled with a great selection of fish and shellfish and we may even surprise you at times with exclusivities! Certain products are seasonal while others are available year round but one certainty remains; because of the dedication of our buyers and the constant replenishment of our stocks, you can be sure that our products are always as fresh as they get.

Selecting your fish
To appreciate fish, you must respect certain criteria when buying. The fish should always have a very subtle yet pleasant odor, its skin should always be lustrous and firm, its scales tight on the skin, its eyes clear, shiny and convex and its gills bright red.

For maximum freshness, always cook fish as soon as possible after purchase as they will not keep more than one or two days in the fridge. When storing fish, you should always remove the original package, wrap the fish in waxed paper and place it in an air-tight container in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
