When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I agree about the marketing ploy, but mowt honest restaurants, it would at least NOT be frozen... it often just means "whatever was on special offer at the fishmonger's" ;-) It's like "today's market choice" etc.

Only sure bet is to catch it yourself (as I have) or to buy it directly from the fishing boats as they return ashore.

: Rightly cynical, but they wouldn't get away with using that description for tinned sardines or salt codfish.

: over cynical imo. It's "oceanfront" and a Thai restaurant so I expect it IS caught today and bought in fish market or off boat. Also, lobsters etc are included in "catch of the day"

1) My opinion regarding the freshness is not relevant--2) I said that "I'" have never seen the phrase used to refers to anything other than fish. I'd love to see an example of a non-fish catch of the day.
