Storage Information
Fresh fish is what we built our business on, so we suggest you enjoy your fish as soon as possible. Keep in mind it is best practice to consume your fish within three days. Keep it at its best by storing in in the coldest area of your refrigerator, with crushed ice if available. Freezing your Octopus before cooking it, will actually improve its texture, do so straight away and preferably consume within (3) months.
