Sydney Fish Market is poised to launch a new app to help seafood buyers better assess the shelf-life of products.

Using the app, users can complete a checklist on several attributes of whole fish, including appearance, odour and texture.

The scores for each category are combined to generate a Quality Index score, which will provide users with an indication of the remaining shelf-life of the product.

The free app, which is called the Australian Seafood Quality Index App, is now available for download on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. Search ‘seafood quality index'.
