    Not a nice comment above :confused:

    Fish spoils quite quickly, and your nose will be able to tell you if fish is off before you use it because of the smell. So when you take it out of the packet, you should be able to tell if it's good or not.

    Also, fish tends not to be associated with the common food poisoning bacteria (salmonella, campylobacter etc)

    Hi everyone I have a chicken in my fridge that says use by tommorow "29th".

    If I make a curry with it today and then use the rest to make up chicken pies - would it be ok to freeze them today for later use ?
    Kindness costs nothing :)

    Hi Mirry,

    Yes it will be fine and once cooked you can freeze them safely.

    I'll add this to the Quick Questions on food safety / sell by / use by dates thread later.
