Store seafood on ice within the fridge. Ice helps maintain a lower temperature around the seafood.
Store seafood in airtight containers to prevent exposure to air and moisture, which can accelerate spoilage.
Clean and gut the seafood before freezing. For fish, remove the head, scales, and internal organs. Freeze seafood in portions that are easy to thaw and use
If you need to thaw seafood quickly, place it in a sealed plastic bag and submerge it in cold water
