National Go Fishing Day is observed annually on June 18 and is the perfect day for anglers to escape from their daily routine – find a stream, a lake, or pond – bait the hook, cast the line, and catch a fish!<\/p>\n
#NationalGoFishingDay is also a perfect time to highlight basic food safety tips for preparing and storing fish \u2013 to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.<\/p>\n
Fish meat is very delicate and if not properly handled it will lose taste and texture very quickly and can spoil in a very short period of time.<\/p>\n
Immediately after a fish dies the meat begins to deteriorate. The best way to ensure fresh meat is to keep the fish alive. If the fish perishes, remove them and immediately place them on ice.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\tImage Source: Shutterstock<\/span>\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t<\/figure>\n\n

Freshwater Fish<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Aerated live wells<\/strong>. Put fish in the live well and change the water regularly especially if the fish is large or the well overcrowded<\/li>\n
Stringers.<\/strong> Insert the stringer through the fleshy part of the lower jaw (never the mouth or gills) and put the stringer in the water<\/li>\n
Fish baskets.<\/strong> Put the fish in the basket and lower into the water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Saltwater Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Cooler full of ice.<\/strong> Immediately place fish on top of the ice, or pack ice around them. Icing quickly chills the fish and can be stored for several days. It is advised to keep the cooler drained of all the water from melting ice; fish floating in water adversely affects the texture and the flavor of the meat & begins the spoilage process.<\/li>\n
Aerated live wells.<\/strong> Put fish in the live well and change the water regularly especially if the fish is large or the well overcrowded<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Storage of Cleaned Fish \n<\/strong>It is important to store your dressed fish properly, so determine beforehand when you plan to cook the fish.<\/p>\n
If you plan to eat the fish in a couple of days, you can store it in the refrigerator. First pat down the fish with a towel to remove excess moisture then place in a plastic bag or container, and put in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
For longer than 3 day, you must freeze the fish which will last for months in the freezer.<\/p>\n
