When you go to buy fish, what’s the longest it’s going to last in the fridge? You might think 3-4 days, but is that really enough time? When you cook fish, it dries out quickly. This is because fish contains a high level of water, which is used up during cooking. So if you plan on cooking a lot of fish, it’s best to do so right away and store the leftovers in the fridge. If you want to keep cooked fish in the fridge for longer than 4 days, you can freeze it. Just make sure to pack it in an airtight container and freezerize it as quickly as possible.
What is a fish poison and how do you avoid it?
