As with ANY fish, look for the following: * The fish must be gutted. Unless you saw it caught right in front of you, 10 minutes ago, guts are a fail. * The eyes should be clear. Cloudy eyes are a bad sign. * The gills should be bright red (ideally) or at least a strong dark red. Pale gills are a very bad sign. * Even though it's a fish, it should not smell "fishy" -- it should smell fresh and clean. * Salmon, like so many fish, have striations in their muscle tissue. Ideally, there should be no air gap between the striations. Which a few gaps are acceptable, they are an indicator of dessication. * Touch the fish: It should be firm and not slimy. * The skin shoudln't present a "rainbow" effect from surface oils. While not a complete fail, if this sign is present, it indicates some age and poor preservation on the fish. * Look at the tag which, by law, must tell you where the fish was harvested. If the location is very remote, be on guard. If it smells bad, forget it. The scent of amonia is a killer. If the fish is obviously warm to the touch, forget it.

As far as spoilage is concerned, it's pretty much a no-brainer since it will smell bad.

What is difference between a farm fresh and store bought egg?

Yes, they are. Store-bought eggs (even the ones listed as organic) are frome hens that are in a cage all of their life. They never walk, never move, never free range. The only thing that they eat is the food in front of them. However, Farm Fresh eggs usually come from happy, healthy, free-range hens. When the hens free-range (or are allowed outside the coop to forage naturally) the egg is enriched and becomes more flavorful.
