Always make a point of looking at the fish counter at Tesco (Kingston Park) and the word fresh dosen't spring to mind when looking at the fish. I haven't found Morrisons (Cowgate) any better. Have been to both, as staff were wheeling out the trolley with boxes of fish once unpacked it still didn't look Fresh.
Yes supermarkets maybe good for certain items to be used for bait but if your after fresh fish, try elswhere?

go to any of these supermarkets a hour before closing for some nice deals on fish. I got 3 macky for under 40p once in morrisons lol, was chuffed
If you buy macky from the supermarkets,have a look in the fridges for fillets.
These are taken from the fish as soon as they recieve them.
They are a lot better than the whole fish with there guts in that are on show.These deteriorate very quickly and the flesh has gone to mush.

bought some [fresh mackerel] from morrisons to try a bit of float fishing with the mack's belly ,it was just turning to mush as i tried to put it on the hook ,even bait elastic couldn't hold it on.
the best thing to do is next time your in the tackle shop just buy afew packs of frozen then you know you will have bait. its usally cheaper in the tackle shops for mackerel than supermarkets. Or you can take afew home you catch in a freezer bag and freeze them and then you know there good quality.

i agree with daddytim coz this has happened 2 me b4. it was 3 - 4 years ago when me me uncle and me grandad went to asda in ashington to get some prawns and mussels to use as bait as we were going fishing at south shields pier when i has noticed that the fish counters were closed and that day i caught 5 or 6 mackerel between 2lb and 5lb

NOW DID THE 5/6 MACKERELS TOTAL WEIGH 2lb - 5lb OR DID EACH INDIVIDUAL FISH WEIGH 2lb - 5lb.
A 5lb MACKEREL IS SOME FISH.SOME MAY SAY A FISH OF A LIFE TIME
