What precautions should consumers take when selecting and consuming seafood?
Seafood Safety Tips
• Choose fresh fish steaks and fillets that are moist, with no drying or browning around the edges.
• Buy seafood only from reputable dealers, and cook fish within 2 days of purchase. Use packaged, frozen seafood before the expiration date.
• Make sure the fish odor is fresh and mild. Fresh fish and shellfish should not have an overly "fishy" odor. Refrigerate seafood immediately below 40°F after buying.
• Cook fish to 145°F or until the flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork.
• Refrigerate smoked, pickled, vacuum-packed, and modified atmosphere-packed fish products.
