Buying and storing seafood properly is essential to maintain its freshness and quality. Here are some tips on how to buy and store seafood for optimal freshness.
- Avoid Cross-Contamination: Store seafood away from other foods to prevent cross-contamination. Keep seafood in sealed containers or wrap tightly to prevent odors from spreading.
- Use Freshness Quickly: Consume seafood as soon as possible after purchasing for the best taste and texture. Fresh seafood does not have a long shelf life, especially when stored at home.
- Avoid Freezing Unless Necessary: While some seafood can be frozen for longer storage, fresh seafood is best consumed fresh. If freezing, use airtight containers or vacuum-sealed bags to prevent freezer burn.
- Follow Use-By Dates: Pay attention to use-by dates or expiration dates on seafood packaging. Use seafood before the recommended date for optimal quality.
