When does Mahi spoil?

Mahi-mahi is a species of fish that is highly susceptible to spoilage due to its high oil content. The shelf life of fresh mahi-mahi is typically 2 to 3 days when refrigerated at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below. However, it can be extended to 5 to 7 days if the fish is properly packed in ice. Mahi-mahi that is frozen can last up to 6 months, but the texture and flavor may be compromised after prolonged freezing.

Some signs that Mahi-mahi has gone bad include:

* A strong, fishy odor

* A dull, discolored appearance

* Soft or mushy texture

* A sour or off taste

If you notice any of these signs, it is best to discard the fish. Consuming spoiled fish can cause foodborne illness, which can lead to a variety of symptoms including stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
