Mixed seafood is highly perishable and must be handled with care. Store fresh mixed seafood in the refrigerator immediately upon purchase, ideally layered over ice in a sealed container to maintain a cold temperature. Use within 1-2 days for optimal quality. For longer storage, freezing is recommended. Freeze seafood as soon as possible to prevent spoilage; properly wrapped seafood can last up to 2-3 months in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking; never thaw at room temperature.
