in the restaurant biz, typically, we go 2-4 days depending on certain variables:
a) kept refrigerated, kept dry
b) kept wrapped or out of air; air is yer worst enemy (bacteria)
c) kept clean and away from human touch (oils on yer hands can spoil fresh fish)
d) fresh striper from God's Mighty Atlantic is at least a week fresher than fresh frozen from the store (it's the freezing that adds life to the filet)
e) if you do freeeeze it; generally once is okay (same with any other meat)
f) and always check for smell; if it smells feeeeshy ~toss it to the crabs and elvers
g) if it has an oily or sweaty sheen to the skin ~~it's for the birds
h) if all these things doan happen and if yer first bite tastes metallic at all..........
spit it OUT and feed the nearest alley cats that feast ~~their stomachs can take it,,,,,,,,,,,,and if not,
who's gonna lose sleep over one less ferrel cat pissing in yer garden and moaning at all hours of the night??
