Advises on the display and storage of both wet and frozen fish in retail shops, and on the design and proper use of chill cabinets and frozen food cabinets. Emphasises the need to use ice on wet fish displays, and the importance of following a code of practice for handling frozen foods. The survey of retail frozen food cabintes referred to in the text was carried out in 1971. References to 'wet' and 'fresh' fish are both used simply in the context of fish that have not been frozen. This Note should be read in conjunction with Notes 1, 14, 32 and 86.
