Why was fish cut open at supermarket?
I bought some whole mackerel at the supermarket yesterday and I found when I opened the package that the fish had had their belly cut open but they had not been cleaned. Obviously it is really bad to do that because bacteria and parasites that exist in the intestines of the fish can contaminate any surface that is exposed to that mess. In fact two small worms had actually crawled out and were on the outside of the fish.
Why would the supermarket do that?
