Salmon - Sell by date
I have some salmon fillets in my fridge that have a sell-by-date or use by date (not sure which one) of 30 September. Would you cook and eat it?
I'm sure you can tell when you open the packet if the fish is off, surely it would absolutely stink? |

Basically if it smells fresh it is fresh.

You'll know as soon as you open the pack, one way or other

well, i thought i would know. i opened the packet, had a sniff, wasn't sure. decided to start cooking anyway, so got on with chopping some veg.
OH came into the kitchen nearly gagging, apparently the fish was well off and i just couldn't smell it. Oops. we had takeaway instead... |

Fish needs to be eaten as fresh as possible, unless its been frozen shortly after being caught. Most the packaged chilled bits of fish in supermarkets doesn't look at all good. My advice is go to a good fishmonger, or buy frozen fish which is normally frozen quickly after being caught.
