How to Store Fried Fish Eat the Next Day

1. Cool fish completely.

> Allow fish to cool to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing. Storing a warm fish in the refrigerator can raise the temperature and cause other foods to spoil more quickly.

2. Wrap the fish.

>Fried fish can be wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container. Avoid using aluminum foil, as this can cause fish to lose its flavor and texture. If there is a lot of batter or breading on the fish it is a good idea to wrap the fish in paper towel to absorb excess oil before refrigerating.

3. Refrigerate fish.

>Refrigerated fried fish will keep for up to 3 days. Be sure to label the container with the date so that you know when to eat it by.

4. Freeze fish.

>Fried fish can be frozen for up to 2 months. Freezing fried fish is a great way to preserve it for later. To freeze fish:

* Let fish cool to room temperature.

* Wrap fried fish in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil.

* Label the package with the date so that you know when to eat it by.

* Place fish in the freezer.

Tips for reheating fried fish

* To reheat fried fish, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

* Place the fish on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

* Reheated fish is best served with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
