Look, I love saving money as much as the next person. But food poisoning from bad fish is not a game. It’s a miserable, regrettable, “why-did-I-do-this” experience.
If the salmon looks slimy, smells funky, or just feels off, don’t argue with it. Your stomach will thank you. Just toss it, order a pizza, and promise yourself you’ll cook the next piece sooner.
Or better yet, learn from your mistakes. Buy your salmon the day you plan to eat it. Your fridge, your nose, and your taste buds will all be in perfect, happy harmony. Now go cook that fish before it’s too late!
