How long can sea food stay refrigerated before it goes bad?
Store seafood in leak-proof containers for up to two days in the coldest part of your refrigerator at 32-38 degrees F, or three to10 months frozen. Shelf life will vary depending upon product form and species. Never store live (in the shell) oysters or clams in air-tight containers. Place them in a container with a lid that is slightly ajar and refrigerate for no more than five days. Oysters and clams will naturally open during storage. Tap the shell lightly. If it does not close, it is dead and must be discarded. If you have seafood storage questions, ask your seafood supplier.
