Buying it from your supermarket is ok, check with the fish department (meat department if they don't have a specific fish department) and find out what days what seafood comes in. Federal law mandates that fresh unfrozen fish and seafood arrive at your store no more than 48 hours after harvest, or live (live lobster) Most crab will be frozen. Some fish should be whole and you can have cut to your order. Raw frozen shrimp, and fish is ok, but all others such as crab, and crayfish will be cooked before frozen and you just need to heat it up.

Tips on buying seafood.
I want to include more fish in my diet and I would love to start cooking with seafood. Is buying it from the supermarket ok? Or should I find a fish market? Are there certain days that are best to buy fish and how long is the food good for? Can seafood be frozen?
I usually buy groceries once a week. If that helps.
