Re: Striper meat in fridge for 5 days, still ok?
Mondays and Wednesdays are garbage days!
WHY take a chance? If you're not comfortable (and you're not or you wouldn't be asking), toss it.
It's not like you're not going to catch anymore...........first timers catching fish the size my Father DREAMED about.
Jersey John IS right though.........store bought fish tends to be 5-10 days old when used. If a commercial boat is out at sea for 5 days then the fish they caught on the first day is already 5 days by the time they get to the dock. And it's not like they're constantly re-icing it??? I think store bought tends to seem fresher because the melting ice whisks away slime and odor.
