Is this salmon still edible after 3 days in the fridge?
I bought some salmon on the 24th and marinated it last night in Soy
spices and vinegar. Do you think it will be ok to eat today for lunch after 3 days raw in the fridge? (I apologize if this comes out as a double post, my first post didn't seem to upload) |

Several facets to consider - On one hand, it depends on the temperature of your refrigerator, and where in the refrigerator the food is kept - (my meat tray is kept around 32F, measured by thermometer). Three days at 35 or lower is likely OK if it wasn't old when it went in. If your refrig has no gaskets left and the internal temp is 50F, I'd pass on fresh salmon kept in it. On the other hand, immersion in vinegar "pickles and preserves" to some extent (it is an Asian method of "cooking" fish) so it is likely OK now if it was OK when immersed, because it was preserved. On yet another hand, (yes, my family is odd), the human stomach of an adult can accept a lot of food that "has sat out" longer than the time recommended for food for a person already (chronically) ill. And it depends on how much of it you eat and with what. Eating an ounce of salmon with a pint of iced vodka is different than eating half a salmon alone. On still another limb, it also depends where you bought it - if it came off a truck behind a building and/or if it was on special, it is probably less fresh than if bought at the local modern market. Having a use-by date of last week presents more risk than having a use-by date of tomorrow. The "smell test", the "worth the risk", and the "I'll wonder as I eat it" tests are the old standbys - IMHO, the smell test is only a verification of what you already knew. If I have to smell it to tell if it's OK to eat, it probably is past any enjoyment or nutritional value or I am lost in the woods and scrounging for food. ---------------- I doubt that properly handled salmon then kept in vinegar in my refrigerator for three days would "go bad". Fresh salmon kept in my refrigerator for three days has been just fine (I had some that was kept for 3-4 days, just two weeks ago). fwiw -- |

We all have our favorites, mine is Forté Agent. http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php The newest model has many more features (like email) than I need, but you may find it convenient. Back to the salmon. If it was fresh when you bought it and it's been properly stored (passing the "sniff" test today), go ahead and cook it. I wouldn't wait any longer though. -- Practice safe eating. Always use condiments. |
