Certainly you are apt to buy a whole fish that is more than the recommended daily intake of about 3.5 ounces.
You don't recommend freezing the fish right?
You only recommend eating from a whole fish instead of from filets or something else?

Lay it on ice in the fridgerator. (Don't freeze it!!! the temp. needs to be, or over, 0 degrees celcius)

Yes, we usually buy enough fish for 3 days, so we can eat from that fish during 3 days in a row.
When we buy mackerel, however, we buy enough for 2 days, since mackerel lasts less long.

Exactly; forzen fish can also cause acne. That is why you should not eat herring; by law, herring needs to be deepfrozen on sea, so that herring is never really raw.

Filet is perfectly okay too. It is just that it is a bit harder to check its freshness.
Make sure the fish has not been in the freezer, and not smoked either, of course.
