The identification cards (a) provide information on how to select fresh fish at the market as well as (b) communicate general guidelines for handling seafood: https://seagrant.sunysb.edu/articles/r/2692. You'll find additional seafood publications at www.nyseagrant.org/seafoodpublications. And check us out at www.instagram.com/newyorkseagrant.
