Breaded cod to be precise. Use by date was yesterday.
Eat or bin?
I hate food waste and am kicking myself

I am very lax about dates (other than with chicken), so I'd be tempted to eat it.

Me too usually, not sure when it comes to fish though

Wouldn't hesitate to eat it after a day. Three I'd chuck.

Also very lax about food dates - I’d trust my nose

I would bin it. Recently gave myself food poisoning by eating a seabass filet that was one day out of date. Not an experience I would want to repeat!

I'd eat that, probably not prawns, but even then for one day if they smelt Ok...No-one's expecting anything to turn on the stroke of midnight, there must be some slack built into the dates.

Trust your nose. This is what we had to do pre-sell by or best-before dates 🙌

I wouldn't feed it to the dc but unless you're pregnant I'd say it is probably fine.

Yes, it became dangerous to eat at 1 minute past midnight lol

It's fine.

Some things I would eat out of date but fish is not one of them

Ohhhhh, and I've just said it's fine but, I'll be more careful from now.

I'd smell it and if I didn't faint I'd cook and eat it

Have a smell of it and if it's unpleasant, bin it. I'm assuming it's been refrigerated the whole time? If it smells OK, it'll be fine.

I’d eat it unless it smelt bad or looked bad.

I'd have no hesitation in eating unless it actually smells off

That sounds grim, but surely it would have smelt bad. That is usually a good indication not to eat it.

Assuming it's been in a fridge and not left out on a radiator I would eat it.
