How do you tell if Salmon Patties is bad?

Spoiled salmon patties have a distinct, sour smell that's quite different from the fresh, mild smell of raw fish. If you notice a strong, fishy smell, it most likely has gone bad. Additionally, check for changes in color – salmon patties turning dark or fading is a clear sign of spoilage. Given the health risks associated with spoiled seafood, when in doubt, throw it out.

Question 11

Tips for storing Salmon Patties to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store salmon patties in an airtight container to prevent exposure to air and bacteria. This helps extend their shelf life in the fridge.

• Freeze salmon patties if you're not likely to use them immediately. Stack them with sheets of wax paper in between to prevent sticking together. Before freezing, let them cool completely to avoid the build-up of icicles.

• To defrost, transfer the patties to the refrigerator 24 hours before you plan to use them. Avoid defrosting at room temperature to minimize bacterial growth.

• Never refreeze thawed salmon patties, as this can significantly degrade their quality and potentially introduce harmful bacteria.
