Seafood Food Safety Tips

by

Some people are very afraid of cooking seafood because of the food safety aspects. Let us help you so you can confidently cook seafood safely with these tips!

Don't Cross Contaminate! Handle raw and cooked seafood products separately. Thoroughly clean and rinse work space between each step. This also includes cleaning the knives, containers and cutting boards used during preparation. Plexiglass or plastic cutting boards are preferred over wooden ones that cannot be sanitized properly. Keep raw and cooked seafoods from coming in contact with each other.

Cook Fish and Seafood Thoroughly. Fish is cooked when it turns opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Follow processors' directions when preparing frozen, packaged seafood products.
