Marinating fish for more than 30 minutes irreversibly alters the texture of fish, causing the protein molecules to denature and unravel. This slows down spoilage by creating a hostile environment for bacteria. Think of the classic combinations, like scrambled egg and smoked salmon, or the curried rice and smoked haddock dish kedgeree. Smoked fish has a much longer shelf-life than fresh fish, because the smoking process removes moisture from this fish, which the slime-producing bacteria need to reproduce.Īnother way of preserving fish can be done at home by soaking in an acidic liquid. This is why fish is stored on ice at a fish counter.īecause fresh fish needs to be eaten on the day of purchase, breakfast dishes traditionally rely on the use of smoked fish. The ambient air temperature of a refrigerator is closer to 5☌, so is not cold enough to slow down the enzyme activity that causes decay. Unfortunately, fish is very perishable and does not keep well, even in the refrigerator. This is because fish swim in very cold water, and so need to be kept at 0☌ to remain in peak condition.
