Seafood Safety Tips
- Fish fillets should be moist with no drying or browning around the edges.
- Frozen fish packages should be undamaged and the fish should have no freezer burn, off-color, or be covered with ice crystals.
- Fish should be kept wrapped and stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
- Fresh fish should be used within two days of purchase/delivery.
- Fish is ready to eat when the cooking process produces flesh that is opaque and flakes easily.
- To thaw frozen fish: thaw under refrigeration or seal in a bag and submerse in water for up to an hour. NEVER at room temperature.
