Storing Fish and Shellfish

After I buy any fish I generally rinse it well in cold water and place it in an air tight container. I then place the container in the bottom of the refrigerator on top of an ice pack (the type that you would use in a cooler). The ice pack will stay frozen for about 36 hours in the fridge and keep the fish cold without freezing it.

I use a round plastic container (like Tupperware or Rubbermaid) that holds a standard steamer basket. The fish in the ziplock bag goes on top of the steamer basket in the plastic container. I then place some ice around the fish and seal the container and place it in the bottom of the refrigerator . The ice melts slowly and drips to the bottom of the container.

I often buy frozen shrimp but if I am going to use it quickly I will buy thawed shrimp at the market. I then shell it and store it in a tightly sealed container on ice. I don’t generally devein shrimp until I am ready to cook it.
