Fish one day out of date, eat or bin?

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

If it smells of fish, bin it. Fresh fish should smell of nothing at all.

Mind you, in our house DH would eat it.

Sniff it. I've opened meat before and one sniff and binned it, and it's been well in date. Your nose knows.

I was umming and saving yesterday about some meatballs that had been in the freezer 18 months- well they were fine and so far I've lived to tell the tale- but fish I'm funny on and would bin it

If it smells OK, eat it. Those dates are massively conservative.

Bin.
Is £3-5 really worth suffering a food poisoning? 🤷🏻‍♀️

No it didn’t smell at all. Apparently it’s called scombroid bacteria. Doesn’t have any smell attached to it and cooking doesn’t kill it!

Breaded fish is processed and full of preservatives, so I would eat it. I would be more wary of unprocessed fish, eg sea bass, salmon, etc.

Agree with @snoopyfanaccountant, in terms of food poisoning breaded cod is likely to be at the much lesser end of the scale.

Sniff it. When fish goes off it smells awful. It’s probably fine.

I'd eat it, but I'd probably cook it a little longer or a little hotter than normal. No idea if that would make any difference 😅

Look at it, smell it and if that’s ok, eat it. We all survived before supermarket sell by dates.🙂

Im not usually bothered by dates on food. However, had awful food poisoning from 1 day old salmon so im now a lot more careful with fish.

I'd smell it

@Masaladosai so did you eat it?!

I'd bin it. I wouldn't risk eating because if you eat it, there is a big chance that you will get food poisoning.

Sniff test. If it smells strongly 'fishy' I'd reconsider

Yep did the sniff test and it seemed fine so have cooked and eaten it, no adverse effects so far.

I'd just use my eyes and nose to decide.
