How to Store Fresh Seafood

Cooked or uncooked fresh seafood should be kept for only one or two days in the coldest, non-freezing part of the refrigerator.

It should be well wrapped to prevent drying out and to stop its distinctive smell from tainting other food.

If you have to travel a modest distance with your seafood, particularly in summer, it’s advisable to keep it in an esky or insulated container on ice.
