Store it right

  • Keep cold on ice, drained so they don't sit in water.
  • Freeze in a sealed bag with the air pressed out.

Signs it has gone off

  • Ammonia smell.
  • Slimy shells.
  • Black spots spreading beyond the head area.

Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
