My husband came home Sunday with some fresh fish (Salmon) in a cooler. Cleaned, cut and in zip locs. Ice. He forgot about it. Today--Wednesday--I opened the cooler. Ice is melted. Cooler's been closed this whole time. Has the fish gone bad? My guess is yes---but I hate to throw away all this fish.

Thanks Everyone. Some fish had a real distinct spoiled smell, and some did not. Either way, I threw the fish out. Hubby is still out of town--he will be getting smacked as soon as he gets home.

if you want to open a bag and smell it, you will know. But my guess is its bad. Slap him upside the head for forgetting it!

The true question is how to dispose of the cooler when you throw the fish away

depends
was the fish/water still way cold?
does it have a bad smell?
it might be a borderline case.
if i were you i would play it safe and not eat the fish.
did you smack him?
