A better test is flesh firmness. If you slightly press your finger into the flesh it should spring right back. If the indentation holds, that isn't good. Smell can be covered in several ways (but if it is there that isn't good). And don't necessarily use the smell of the entire establishment as a guide, the smell at the fish market generally isn't from the contents of the display cases.
