Striper meat in fridge for 5 days, still ok?

[DMac]

Take the fish and soak in ice cold saltwater using either sea salt or kosher salt. in a large container. Bowl or whatever you had. in addition to the salt at one tablespoon of vinegar to the water. Let it sit for about 30 mins add ice to keep it really cold. then completely dry the fillets and smell them if that did not remove the smell then trash it.

Hence why I am such an advocate to cleaning my fish and immediately rinsing in saltwater. Absolute must. All I do is go home dry and vacuum seal.
