Keeping Fish

Except for bluefish, which should be eaten as quickly as possible after it is caught, whole gutted fish with its skin on, such as this red snapper, whole squid, or unshelled shrimp can be kept in good condition for two or three days in the refrigerator. Cover with ice and put the fish on a rack to let the melting ice drain. Shrimp and squid will fit into a footed pasta colander set over a bowl.
