Seafood

How long does
fresh fish last?

Fresh fish is highly perishable; freezer time varies by fatty or lean species.

STORE IT SAFELY

What to do

Store very cold in leak-proof packaging.

DISCARD IT

Do not take a chance

Discard if temperature control was lost; smell is not a safety test.

Important

These times are guidance, not a guarantee. Initial freshness, preparation, packaging and actual temperature all matter. Never taste questionable food to test safety.
