Will it kill me! Want to eat it for dinner

I wouldnt risk it was always told no more than 3 days in the fridge.

carriebradshaw, Dec 8, 12:19am
I wouldn't be eating it.

unless it is obviously off then cook it first no problem

Was this fresh salmon or tinned or vacuum packed!

Definitely thrown out in our house.

Is it raw salmon!
Or is it home cooked salmon!
Or is it hot smoked salmon!
Is it vacuum packed or just in a plastic bag!
How cold is your fridge!
How long was it outside (in hot car on the way home - or if home cooked how long was it sitting on the table and bench etc) before you put it into the fridge!

Well . it seems that poster #1 has no idea how to ask a question that CAN be answered - or maybe he/she doesn't really want to know how to keep food safe .

I am not worried either way LOL . I never had food poisoning ever in my life . but am happy to answer the questions.

However ".salmon has been in fridge for 6 days." is a bit too broad to be answered really .

I say if it has no smell and you cook it , you may be ok! Try some on a cat. They won't eat anything bad.

any fish should pass the smell test. youll know if its off !.I keep fresh caught fish in the fridge for up to 6-7 days, . just make sure its cooked through, no rare or sushi.

My cat won't eat salmon even when it is fresh.He was handy when we picked mussels up from a beach after a storm, if he turned his nose up we would not eat them.

Looks like helen490 is either no more interested in her thread or busy vomiting .

pickles7, Dec 9, 11:34pm
I cannot remember the last time we had upset tummies in our house.

Lol pickles7. Id like to know if they ate it and if so what happened. I recon you could be right with the vomiting tho.
