Why cooked fish might not keep in as long refrigerator?

There are a few reasons why cooked fish might not keep in the refrigerator as long as other foods.

* Fish is a moist food. This means that it provides a good environment for bacteria to grow.

* Fish is often cooked at a low temperature. This can leave some bacteria alive.

* Fish is often stored in the refrigerator for a long time. This gives bacteria more time to grow.

To help keep cooked fish fresh in the refrigerator, you can:

* Cook fish to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

* Store fish in an airtight container.

* Place fish in the coldest part of the refrigerator.

* Eat fish within 3-4 days of cooking.

If you are not sure whether fish is still good to eat, you can smell it. If it has a strong, fishy smell, it is probably best to throw it out.
