Fish gets spoiled quickly if kept in warm conditions and hence should be stored in cool place. A fresh fish can be stored for about a week in the freezer. Hence, you need to make sure that the fish you bought is absolutely fresh and can be stored for that long. Mostly it is not advisable to keep fish uncooked for long. But if you have to, then make sure it’s freshly brought in the market and store it in a very cold temperature, completely covered by crushed ice if possible.
