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

? If you over coked it a bit ?

Why do you think saying its m and s would make a difference? It's not better quality? They all come from the same fish retailer.

Yes. I'm pretty strict about this kind of stuff but a day late doesn't bother me if it looks alright and I'm cooking it.

Definitely

We’ve eaten lots that was just past sell by during lockdown, done the smell test if meat/ fish and been fine.
Hope it’s good.

I wouldn't with fish. No idea why but I am cautious with these things!

I saw on one of those food programmes once that use by dates are usually 2/3 days before the actual date the food needs to be eaten to ensure it's safe.
