The use is described of the reagent 2‐ p ‐iodophenyl‐3‐ p ‐nitrophenyl‐5‐phenyltetrazolium chloride in a colorimetric method of assessing the quality of iced fish. The results are compared with those obtained from organoleptic examination, viable bacterial counts and the contents of trimethylamine and volatile bases.
