What to Look for When Buying Meat
It's important to know how to choose meat. Quality can vary greatly even at the same store. If the meat's on special, check the "sell-by" date. While the meat is safe to eat, you'll definitely notice a difference in appearance, texture, and taste. Here's what to look for when shopping for various types of meat:
Beef: Beef should be a fresh, red color. It should be well-marbled with fat. If it's a brownish color or beginning to turn a brownish color, pass on that package and find one that's a red color throughout.
Pork: A good cut of pork will be grayish-pink and the flesh relatively firm. It should be well-marbled and covered with firm white fat.
Poultry: Chicken and turkey should be a light pink color. If it's starting to take a yellowish hue, then it's getting old and the flavor is beginning to deteriorate.
Lamb: Lamb should be a light to dark pink. In sheep, the color of the meat darkens as the animal ages. Therefore, the lighter the color, the younger and more tender it'll be.
Veal: It should be grayish-pink in color. The fat will be clear, firm, and white. The bones should be red, and there should be little marbling.
Fish: Color is going to vary greatly depending on the type of fish. However, the flesh should be firm. If you're buying a whole fish, the eyes shouldn't be cloudy. Most importantly, smell it. If you get that "fishy" smell, the fish is a couple days old, and you probably want a fresher one.
