Safe cooking & storage
Cook fish to an internal temperature of 145°F, until the flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork (source: FoodSafety.gov safe minimum internal temperature chart).
Refrigerate up to 2 days. Raw portions freeze well vacuum-sealed for up to 3 months.
Only cook legally harvested fish. Confirm current size limits, seasons, and possession limits with VMRC (saltwater) or DWR (freshwater), and check Virginia fish consumption advisories for the waterbody you fished.
