Fridge storage

How long does barramundi last in the fridge?

About 1 day for raw barramundi. USDA gives 1 to 2 days; Well Stockd plans on the short end.

Times are for a fridge at 40°F (4°C) or below. They’re a guide, not a safety guarantee.

How we checked this: each storage time here is checked against the source named beside it, USDA FoodKeeper, USDA FSIS or another, before the page goes live. A time marked “Our estimate” is Well Stockd’s own, since FoodKeeper and FSIS give none. Editorial policy

How long it keeps

Raw, in the fridge
1 to 2 days refrigerated Source: USDA FoodKeeper: Lean fish (opens in a new tab)
Cooked
3 to 4 days refrigerated Source: USDA FoodKeeper: Leftovers with meat, fish, poultry or egg (opens in a new tab)
Freezer
About 6 months (180 days) at best quality. Frozen food stays safe indefinitely at 0°F; the time is about texture and flavor. Our estimate: FoodKeeper and FSIS give no time for this.Compare freezer times for other foods on the printable freezer storage chart.
How to store it
Coldest part of the fridge, on ice. Barramundi is usually sold thawed from frozen; cook it rather than refreezing.

How to tell if barramundi has gone bad

Dates are estimates; these are the checks that actually decide it. Don’t taste food to check whether it has gone bad.

Throw it out at once if you see:

  • Fishy or ammonia smell
  • Slimy flesh

Warning signs (throw it out if you notice more than one):

  • Dull, graying color
  • Soft flesh that stays dented

Sources and limits

That’s not long. If you won’t use it in time, freeze it, or check FoodKeeper’s freezing advice for this food.

Well Stockd doesn’t know when this food was harvested, packed, bought, opened or cooked. Write down the date you opened, cooked or refrigerated it, follow the package directions, keep your fridge at 40°F or below, and check the official listing when food safety is in question.

USDA FSIS gives fresh fish 1 to 2 days, and Well Stockd plans on the short end.

Each time in the table names its source beside it. A time marked “Our estimate” is Well Stockd’s own, because FoodKeeper and FSIS give none for that food in that state, and where our time differs from FoodKeeper’s, the row shows FoodKeeper’s figure too. The number at the top is Well Stockd’s own estimate. It’s a guide, not a safety guarantee: FoodKeeper says storage times are guidelines, and quality varies with how food is grown, handled, shipped and stored. This page was last updated .
