Smoked salmon 2 days past use by - would you eat it?

[Fleecy]

That's it really! I've got a pack of smoked salmon offcuts and they've been in the fridge for just over a week. I usually freeze them but had it in my head they were good 'til the end of the week.

Use by is 7 Dec - do you think it would be okay? It's for DC as well.

yes

we once ate smoked salmon that I had frozen that was 6 months (!) past it's date (only realised after)

I would smell it and decide after!

Good idea! I think it'll probably be okay - it's been kept chilled and it's unlikely to turn just like that. But because the DC are eating with us, it worries me a bit!

yes, should be fine. You can always cook it!
My dc's like it with pasta (heat it gently with some creme fraiche or cream and a squeeze of lemon juice). Very good on tagliatelle. yum.

Well I did cook it - and still here so far!

We did with pasta, leeks, cheese sauce and breadcrumbs and it was yum.

Thanks for your advice!

Yes but I think 1 month in the freezer is the usual recommendation, and certainly not more than 3! But we survived

I have stuff in my freezer that has been there for years, I'd happy eat.

What exactly do you think will happen to frozen fish in a few months? Quality deteriorates with prolonged freezing but there is nothing harmful sbout salmon that has been frozen for 6 months unless there was something inherently wrong with it before you froze it.

Fish stinks if its off. If it doesnt stink or isnt slimy (in an off kind of way) then I think its fine. My pet hate is dates on food. What did people do before dates? They sniffed and felt food and knew if it was ok or off.
