FAQs

Should fish be washed before cooking?
The fish bought from Licious is thoroughly cleaned before it is packed to be sent to you. You do not need to extensively wash it before cooking. You can, however, run cold water over it once before you start your cooking process. It is important to note that invisible contamination like bacteria cannot be removed by washing the fish. The only way to ensure such bacteria or pathogens are eliminated is by properly cooking the fish. You do not need to worry about all of this when you get your fish from Licious, as it is handled extremely hygienically and properly cleaned already.
