Bought a red snapper (whole) at WF on Tuesday and asked the guy if it would be good by today. He said yes - well, once I took it out of the wrapper it was clearly spoiled or beginning to. Glazed eyes and when I poked the flesh it didn't bounced back.
Upset with myself...argh!!! I never cook fish, I don't know how to. But I ate a lot of it during our vacation and decided to try. It didn't work out very well I guess.... |

| Then return it! They'll take it back--tell them the fishmonger lied to you. |

| I would never even consider cooking fresh fish three days after buying it. |

Plus 1. Seafood guy obviously did not have a clue. |

| Did any corn come with it? |

Maybe the fish was pretty and well dressed. |

| Take it back, Whole Foods is good about taking things even without a receipt. |

| OMG. Who would buy fresh fish to serve 3 days later? |

Isn't there a Ben Franklin saying about how "houseguests, like fish, start to smell after 3 days"? Definitely a 3 day rule on fish and that's assuming it was fresh to start with. |

Um, yeah, don't buy fish till the day you are ready to cook it. |

OP here. First, I post in the wrong forum by mistake. Sorry for that.
Second, as I said I don't have any experience cooking fish and relied in his info. I already threw it away and can't return. But lesson learned. Tomorrow I will buy another one to cook in the evening. |

| Wow, so many "mean girls" on here. The OP said she doesn't know anything about cooking fish! Give her a break. I'm surprised Whole Foods gave such wrong information. |
