About this item

Croaker is a firm-fleshed marine fish commonly fried, grilled, smoked or cooked in soups and stews. The current catalogue does not specify whether each order is supplied chilled or frozen, so storage should follow the condition in which it arrives.

Handling protocols

  • Fresh or thawed croaker should smell mild rather than sour, rancid or ammonia-like, and the flesh should remain firm.
  • Keep it chilled on ice or frozen as received and separate raw fish from ready-to-eat foods.
  • If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or in a sealed bag under cold water if cooking immediately; never thaw on the counter.
  • Cook finfish to an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F).

Storage tips

  • If supplied chilled, keep at 4°C or below and use within 1–2 days.
  • If supplied frozen, keep at about −18°C; for best quality, aim to use within about 4–6 months.
  • Once thawed in the refrigerator, use within 1–2 days; in temperatures above 32°C, do not leave raw fish unrefrigerated for more than 1 hour.
