Short term fish storage?
So to get fresh fish I have to buy an entire whole tuna. I don't want to eat the whole thing in a day as to over-do protein levels. Can I eat the rest tommarow and the next day? How should I store it? Currently I have it in tupperware in the fridge. How long would it stay good for without freezing?
should I marinate it in vinegar?

Re: Short term fish storage?
Cut the tuna in daily portions (1 portion is precisely enough for 1 day)
and put them in small plastic bags for deepfreezing.
Put them all in the freezer, except for 2 or 3 portions.
These 2 or 3 portions you can eat for the next 2 or 3 days.
Once these are finished,
on the night prior to consumption you take out one portion from the freezer,
and put it in the fridge.

do i have to freeze it? i don't appreciate the watery taste as much when its been frozen. if i were to eat the whole lot within 72 hours of it being pulled out of the water it should still be fresh even though it was just in the fridge the whole time right? 96 hours?

If you buy a whole tuna, yes.dandate2 wrote:do i have to freeze it?
Freeze it, or dry it, using a dehydrator that can be regulated regarding the heat involved.
then dont buy a whole tuna, but just a piece.i don't appreciate the watery taste as much when its been frozen.
Most tuna is frozen on board anyway.if i were to eat the whole lot within 72 hours of it being pulled out of the water
Re-freezing it will make it taste a bit more watery, indeed.
Consuming a whole tuna in 3 days is waaay too much...
Re: Short term fish storage?
I dont have a dehydrator, can I just put the sliced pieces in the sun?
Re: Short term fish storage?
That depends on how strong the sun is over there,
and if you can keep all the bugs away.
You also need the wind to be powerful enough.
Buying a dehydrator is easier, and not that expensive.
I love it; tuna jerky.

my advice @ dandate2: use your nose and taste buds.. if you are repelled - don't eat.. Other than that.. what climate is it where you are right now? Winter, summer, degrees? And if you see you can't finish it now.. give some to someone else to cook or eat raw before it goes bad.. or invite somebody over:P

If it still smells good, i would cut off 2 portions and keep them in the fridge,dandate2 wrote:as far as the guy sitting in my fridge right now, how will i know when hes no good to eat anymore?
and cut up the rest in portions to put in the freezer.
Letting it go bad is a waste of money.
Re: Short term fish storage?
oh its not that bad, i bought the whole tuna here in the philippines for $4.50. in the USA it would be like $100+
Re: Short term fish storage?
Ah, okay, that explains...
