Ventura recommends buying fresh fish instead of packaged, seasoned fish. “You can tell from a distance,” she says, “that this has about 50 ingredients, which means it probably has stuff in it you don’t want. Also, you can’t tell how fresh the fish is because it’s covered in so many things.” (Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times)
