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??

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

with a fillet you are good. as long as it has been kept cold. Hate to break it to many but by the time its processed and the distributor gets it and turns it around to your local fish market/grocery store its WAY more than 2 days old in many cases. I have kept fresh caught fish for almost a week and it has been fine (still better than the store bought even).

So if you catch it, cut it up and get it cold right away your should be good for a few days and then some. Again trust your senses....if it dont seem right it probably isnt !!
