Because of this distinction, you may safely use fish even after the sell by date has lapsed. If there is a use-buy date on fresh fish, then it is recommended to either cook or freeze the fish by that date. Commercially frozen fish, if kept frozen, can be safely stored for 10-12 months.
How Long Can You Keep Frozen Fish According to the USDA, frozen foods will keep indefinitely if stored in an airtight package at a constant temperature at or below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Freezing fish does not decrease its nutritional value. Freezer burn may dry the fish out in spots, but it is still safe to eat. Long-Term Freezing Affects Quality Storing fish for an extended period of time in the freezer affects its quality. Raw fish remains at a higher quality after freezing than cooked meats, because cooking depletes moisture. You should only be concerned about frozen fish if the package has ripped or opened, exposing it to air. If it has gone rancid, it will have a strong fishy smell.
