Try to pick the ones that have not been completely thawed out and have no water or ice in the vacuum bag. Generally speaking, fish fillets are kept at a temperature of at least -18 degrees Celsius right after they leave the factory, so the water should all coalesce on the fillets and should not appear on the edges of the bag. Unless the surface temperature of the fillet has been above freezing, the water should not be anywhere other than on the fillet.

When choosing, try to have the same colors as in the photo above, only red and white, it is normal for the centerline of the fillet to be a little dark red or even black at times. If other colors appear on the edge of the fillet, such as block light green, block light yellow, please don't choose it, it is problematic.

You can pick up the fillet and feel it or pinch it. If the temperature is still below freezing the fillet will be hard, if it has just been thawed out, the feeling of pinching it should be somewhat elastic, and definitely do not choose the one that is soft and inelastic like tofu when you pinch it.
