Should I freeze salmon?
If you anticipate not being able to cook your salmon within a week of purchase, freezing it is a viable option. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, ensuring there are no air pockets.
How can I store fresh salmon?
For optimal freshness and flavor, place your salmon in the coldest section of your refrigerator as soon as possible.
Can seafood stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The storage duration varies depending on the type of seafood. Most fish should be consumed within 1-2 days of purchase but can remain fresh for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. Shellfish such as clams, crabs, and lobsters should be used immediately after purchase and can last for up to 24 hours. Scallops and shrimp can remain fresh for 1-2 days
What’s the proper way to thaw seafood?
Place in a plate or bowl to catch any liquid, cover it to prevent odors from escaping, and place it in a cool part of your fridge. Small cuts will take overnight or 8 to 12 hours to thaw, while larger cuts or a sides can take 24 hours.
I want to eat some later. How do I reheat my seafood?
Ditch the microwave and opt for the oven to properly reheat any seafood. Heat your oven to 200°F and gently heat your fish for about 10-15 minutes. Be sure to cover it to make sure it doesn’t dry out. Enjoy!
