How long can I keep seafood and produce out of the refrigerator?
I want to pick up groceries on my lunch break but I need to get seafood and produce. If I bring these items into the office (about 72 degrees) how long will it last?
It’s items like crab legs, scallops, apples, lettuce
Thank you 
Here are some tips that will help you know what to do so that your seafood will stay fresh longer:
Tips on what to look for when you buy seafood:
1. Check the reputation of the retailer. Ask family and friends where they buy their seafood. Someplace that has a good reputation is a great place to start.
2. Smell – The location should not have stench. There should be a gentle smell of the sea but not of rotting seafood or fish. Any type of out of date odor is not something you should be comfortable with.
General Appearance – Does the place look clean? Does it look like things are kept in good repair? What you see in the front or retail area is usually the most presentable. So if the front looks bad then the area behind closed doors is probably not something you want to see or purchase from. The seafood itself should look like it was freshly caught. The texture should look moist, fresh and firm. The eyes should look clear and have a plump look. The eyes should never be sunken.
Make sure and have an ice chest – You want to make sure you have something to keep the seafood cool for the journey home. An ice chest or some type of chiller bag is a must. Being prepared makes all the difference. It is best to purchase your seafood only when you are going straight home.
Storing your seafood at home – As soon as possible make sure and place your seafood in the refrigerator if you do not plan to cook it right away. Never allow the seafood to sit it’s own juice. Keep it in the coldest part of the refrigerator and cover with ice. Never allow fish or seafood to sit not cooled for any length of time.
Keeping your seafood in the freezer – You should freeze seafood as soon as possible and when it is as fresh as possible. When freezing fish it is best to filet it rather than freezing it whole. If you are going to freeze the fish whole make sure and clean and gut if first. You should however leave the scales on. Wrap the fish in a plastic wrap then place inside a freezer bag. Make sure and remove all air from the bag. Place in the freezer with a label and date on the outside.
Shrimp should be frozen in a block or encased in ice type form.
These are just a couple of suggestions to help you in storing seafood. Make sure that if the seafood or fish has a strong smell you throw it out rather than take a chance.

How do I prepare a whole fish that I buy from the market for dinner?
How do I prepare a whole fish that I buy from the market for dinner?
I buy seafood from a local market and they have many kinds of fish for sale, the whole darn thing right there on ice. How do I get it from there to a dinner ready version? Cut the head off? The tail? What about the insides? And the skin and bones?
Hopefully the fish has been gutted, or you’re in for trouble. If you’ve never filleted a fish before, it can easily become a horrible looking piece of meat. Sometimes when you buy a whole fish, you can ask them to fillet it for you. I personally don’t like to deal with the skin on fish, because of the scales, having to descale the thing. ( I always end up with scales EVERYWHERE)
But if you are determined to cook a whole fish, just stuff the cavity with fresh parsley, lemon, salt, pepper and throw it on the grill until its done. But like I said, you’ll still have to deal with the skin issue.

Can a 9 month old drink/eat products with fish oil in them? or do they classify that as eating seafood?
i dont want her to get an allergy to seafood so we are not feeding her fish for about two years, but is fish “oil” ok you think? Many people say that kids should eat fish and seafood but I am not sure.
Kids Eating Fish And Seafood
Actually, fish and seafood are good to introduce between 8-12 months. Just avoid those that are high in mercury (tile fish, mackerel, sword fish, shark and tuna). Fish and seafood are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Live sushi sashimi – VERY fresh fish
This was at a restaurant in Tokyo that a bunch of us ate at. The fish was sooo fresh that it was still moving! It did taste good.
The meat was cut up and served with the fish, the fish was merely decoration.
