Meat and fish are the extremely important products in our diet. They are primarily a source of protein, and therefore the basic building block of our body, but also iron and zinc. In addition, sea fish provide us with so-called healthy fats, i.e. those rich in the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. How to store the meat and fish, to enjoy their freshness as long as possible and prevent them from spoiling too quickly?
Storing meat in the refrigerator
It is well known that the fresh meat should be stored in the fridge. Which conditions are the most favourable for it? To store the meat in a safe way it is important to place it in the closed container, especially when it is raw. If do not have such container, we can place the meat on the plate and cover with the food wrap. The meat that we marinate, we can store in the fridge up to 3 days, and the one which is already ready to consume (after cooked, frying, baking) we should eat in 2 days apart.
Storing fish in the refrigerator
The fresh fish is good to eat at the same day when we bring it from the shop. When we want to wait until next day to consume it, we should store the fish in the food wrap in the 0 °C temperature. Smoked fish should be wrapped with a paper towel and closed in the container – preferably one that is impervious to odours. We can also wrap it with food wrap or paper. Of course, canned fish will have the longest time to be eat.

Meat and fish should be stored in the lower part of the refrigerator. All because it is simply the coolest there. The low temperature will slow down the growth of microorganisms, that cause food spoilage. In modern refrigerators you will find special drawers, that are intended to meat and fish storing. The appropriate temperature and humidity are maintained in them, so the products can retain their freshness, nutritional value, as well as their appearance and consistency for a long time.
