    Dear Greg

    Use sensory methods. They measure 'quality' directly, are fast, and in the
    case of evaluation of raw fish, are non-destructive. No non-sensory methods
    are quick, and they do not measure quality directly. They have to be
    calibrated against sensory methods so you might as well use sensory methods
    in the first place.
