Couple of days max.

I wouldn't leave it more than 2 days...smell it, if it smells of nothing much you are fine...anything stronger adn I'd have doubts.

agree with moondog - -had a very nasty experience once with a salmon intended for our boxing day guests - -had turkey and ham pie instead

thanks everyone - problem is don't know if it's for Christmas day evening (we have our turkey on Christmas eve) or Boxing Day. I should freeze it shouldn't i? Just a bugger cos I am Mrs Crap when it comes to remembering to take things out and I hate defrosting stuff in the microwave

yes freeze it

I hate to leave fish from the supermarket for more than a day tbh

fresh caught I would only leave for 2 days

what's grim moondog ? turkey and ham pie on boxing day?

No
Am referring to salmon debacle.
Images of you wrestling with a huge rotting fish,a paper hat balancing drunkenly on your head,surrounded by discarded wrapping paper and empty bottles....

ha ha salmon wrangling was left to dh as hes's the resident fish expert

fresh salmon no longer forms part of our Xmas menu - although the odd bit of smoked does find its way in
