how long can fish stay in a freezer?

[pankhurst]

just that...if it was frozen maybe six months ago, should i throw it out?

Rustybear - you need lime not salt. That was the mistake. lime will eat the body quickly. Hence planting a lime tolerant plant on top.

euoooeuoeuooeeuouoooo!!

and how long would that stay fresh do you reckon?

p.s. just got the 'tout looking fishy' - very slack!

not any more, Scattyb,

My old mackerel has been dispensed (via a marigolded hand) to the dustbin! I feel liberated, clean, renewed, invigorated, frisky....

like a woman with no hint of fishworm

(I may not be able to sleep tonight after this thread, but at least my food hygiene has been restored).

Splendid - well now I will be able to rest easy !! I'm off to bed now !! (DH glaring at me for giggling !!!!)

Rusty - you need calcium oxide, not calcium hydroxide. However a good alternative is cement powder with some extra calcium hydroxide thrown in. Best cover story is 'I have a cesspit which stinks' You don't need her actual weight btw, just a good six inches all the way round, since the body is 70% water.

note to self: stay away from Good Housekeeping thread in future.

You do seem to have some rather specialised knowledge wmmc!

My MiL is alive (although not well) though so you don't have to worry

I have a rather unhealthy curiosity and attract talkative nutters!

...talkative nutters...?

you're not wrong there!

am going to sleep now, but shall think fondly of you all on the morrow.

so glad i opened this thread
