Would you eat m and s battered cod, one day past it’s use by

[Lardlizard]

? If you over coked it a bit ?

Yes and I wouldn't even overcook it 🤷

Yes and I wouldn't overcook it either

Yep and no need to over cook, which would only serve to make it less nice to eat. Use by dates are excessively conservative

Well I thought that might get rid of any bacteria more

What do you think overcooking it would do that just cooking it wouldn’t?

I suppose I thought if I blasted it
It would kill off germs ?!

Cross post. It won’t make any difference. Theres bacteria on everything, even you, all the time. Off fish smells obviously off.

Just cooking it normally is fine

Yes, unless it smelt off.

Yes just cook as normal

Absolutely fine. One day over won't make any difference.

No, I wouldn’t.

Yes

Unless the packaging is swollen or the fish smells disgusting, it's fine to cook it as normal.

Yes as long as it doesn't smell bad.

If you overlook it, the already dead bacteria will be just as dead ten minutes later by the fish will be drier, tougher and altogether less pleasant. Killing bacteria really isn't a matter of time (apart from far far too little time) but the temperature that you cook at.

M and s one ..... hmm nope. The Fortnum and Mason one will be totally fine though 😉

In all seriousness, regardless which shop it's from, give it a smell. When fish is past its best you can smell it.

Enjoy! I really fancy some fish now but don't have any 🙁

With chips, mushy peas and some bread and butter? Yes please, no need to overcook it though.

Yes. Unless your fridge is way under temp it will be aok. No need to overcook it - I agree.

Yes unless the packaging had swollen loads or it smelt weird. I ate something similar a day past it’s sell by date recently and was completely fine the next day

Yes.

I wouldn’t risk it. Use by dates should be followed, best before are more flexible.

No.
Do come back tomorrow and let us know if you spent half the night in the bathroom.
Good luck

Lol ok, hopefully I’m not too sick !

Yes I would. I don't worry too much about use by dates. I use my senses of sight and smell to determine if food is off.
