Scent should also serve as an indicator; fresh seafood should have an inviting briny aroma similar to what can be found in the ocean instead of overpowering ammonia-based smells. Live shellfish should close their shells promptly when touched or tapped; any that remain open must be promptly disposed of. Be sure to ask about its source and fishing method when purchasing from reliable vendors; selecting sustainable seafood options not only ensure higher-quality options but also support responsible practices; knowing where your Calamariere comes from will add another level of excitement!
