    Thanks to those of you that suggested sensory methods.  We already employ numerous sensory methods, but I was hoping for a more objective testing method.  If there are no rapid testing objective testing methods, then that answers my question.

    Thanks for the responses.

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.

    Hi,

Does anyone know if there are any quick methods for determining quality
of fish stored in Refrigerated Sea Water.  I know the Torry meter worked
pretty well, but not in RSW.  Traditional K-value takes too much time.
I have heard there might be "K-value strips" for quick quality
determinations.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.
