Bought raw shrimp 5/1/07?

Question

I have been storing shrimp in fridge since 5/1/07, they were raw when i bought them, are they still good?

Answer 1

I'd be surprised if it's any good.

In the raw state, I'd take a good sniff of it after 2 days, and not trust it after 3. And that's with a commercial refrigerator which is pretty good at maintaining proper temperature and crushed ice to pack it with. Home fridge, I'd seriously think of pitching it after 2.

You can buy it raw, but it freezes well if you aren't going to use it right away. Also, after a day or two, when you realize you aren't serving it right away, you can cook it. It then will have a few more days once cooked.

Answer 2

Iffy.

Rule of thumb. Unless you live close to where the shrimp boats come to dock, buy frozen shrimp. Most shrimp you see in the seafood section of a supermarket display case have been previously frozen, and then thawed.

Answer 3

Take them returned to the marketplace and get alternative. locate out from the supervisor of the dep. why the product smells because it does. Then have him permit you scent what he considers stable shrimp. In that way you will study what to look for the subsequent time you purchase shrimp.

Answer 4

When in doubt throw it out...A pound of shrimp will cost you less than a trip to the docs.

Answer 5

how do they smell?
When you touch them are they mushy?

If they smell okay and are still feel the same when you bought them, then cook them up now. Else, just toss them.

Answer 6

if they were top iced, then maybe... maybe... but if they've just been in the firdge, I wouldn't eat them.

Answer 7

hmmmm... might not want to eat those
