Answer

How can I tell if fish at a market in Mallorca is fresh?

Check that the packaging is intact, read the best-before date and look for any unusual smell or signs of poor storage. If something seems off, it is reasonable to ask the seller where the fish comes from and how it has been kept cold. In Mallorca, many market sellers will answer clearly when asked directly.
