Food safety

[Willowweb]

Help. I have food anxiety.. long story. Bought a cooked salmon salad from well known food outlet. Didn't have a fridge for it as I'm on holiday. Out it in a cool place in original packaging at 10am. Went to eat it at 4pm and realized it might have started to go off and be unsafe. It smelt fine and i took a couple of bites. Then panicked and stopped eating for fear of food poisoning. Am I mad..

Not mad, but perhaps a bit silly for buying fish without a fridge to keep it in.
I wouldn't do it, & I don't have any anxieties about food.

Was it smoked?
If it was I would happily eat it, that's a method of preserving that has been used long before anyone had fridges.
