Seafood
Fresh fish fillets
Fridge (4°C / 40°F)
1–2 days
Freezer (−18°C / 0°F)
3–8 months
Store it right
- Set the wrapped fillets on ice in a bowl in the fridge for the best quality.
- Cook the same day when you can; fish declines fastest of all proteins.
Signs it has gone off
- Strong fishy or ammonia smell — fresh fish smells like clean water.
- Flesh that stays dented when pressed.
- Milky, sticky liquid on the surface.
Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
