I left a piece of cooked salmon out for 10 hours, is it bad if it doesn't smell?

Answer 1

Raw fish smells when left out too long, due to the waterbourne bacteria that multiplies.

Cooked fish won't have an odor, but it could still have too much bacteria to eat.

Taste it and see. If the flavor is odd on your taste buds, don't swallow it. Spit it out and rinse your mouth with Listerine.

Answer 2

Honestly, I don't know if I've gradually acclimated myself to eating things that have been left out too long or, if all this talk about 3 hours being a limit to safe eating, is a bunch of hooey.
I've gone mostly by smell and that has kept me from getting sick.

Answer 3

Almost any food left at room temperature for over 2 hours is bad. Throw it out.

Answer 4

You could eat it but you will probably get sick...a bad smell is not always an indicator of food that has gone bad.

Answer 5

i think you can just cook it again, or chuck it in the oven for awhile. the heat will kill all the bad stuff i think. i ain't tried this myself tho. salmon shouldn't go to waste.

Answer 6

Yes, because cooked food are more susceptible to microbes and bacterial habitation due to their fragile and delicate nature. You should throw it away.

Answer 7

your safest bet is the 2 hours rule-cooked or uncooked. if its been out for more than 2 hours i'd get rid of it

Answer 8

Depends on were you left it.Could insects get at it.I personaly wouldnt eat it.But that doesnt mean its not edible.

Answer 9

It's bad. It may contain invisible, tastless, harmful bacteria such as listeria at this point.

Answer 10

I don't know if it is bad, however, you can get very sick if you eat bad sea food, so I would not check it.
