M&S fish pie use by 26/11/08 - yay or nay?

[BroccoliSpears]

For dd?

NAY, use by is there for a reason
If it was best before thats a different kettle of fish(no pun intended)

no, wouldn't risk it as it's 5 days after it's use by date.

Fresh or froz? I'd eat a frozen one out of date but not a fresh one - fish can be nasty when not fresh. Esp not for a dc. It is nearly a week out, after all!

Def not

I think (but could be wrong!) that use by dates are a legal requirement rather than a statement of fact if that makes sense. I usually do the sniff test- if it smells ok I eat it, if I am even vaguely unsure I bin it.

Eggs it is then.

Oooh yes, will do now! Good thoughts!
