Detailed explanation-1: -Drip pans are placed underneath the container with the fish to catch any melted ice and prevent it from pooling and potentially contaminating the food. It is important to change the ice daily to ensure that it remains cold and to prevent the growth of bacteria.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keep Fish and Shellfish Cold If seafood will be used within 2 days after purchase, store it in a clean refrigerator at a temperature of 40°F or below. Use a refrigerator thermometer to check! Otherwise, wrap it tightly in plastic, foil, or moisture-proof paper and store it in the freezer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fortunately, you can easily store fish in your refrigerator at lower temperatures by using ice or ice packs. By laying your fish fillets or cleaned whole fish on top of ice, you can decrease the temperature to about 32°F (0°C), which will help keep fish fresh for up to two or three days.
