How long can calamari stay in the fridge?!
How long can I safely have calamari in the fridge!? I bought it yesterday!. I cannot eat it all at once, although I LOVE calamari!.
I do not want it to spoil!. I am not sure if it was frozen before I bought it or if it was fresh!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would say a day at best!. Why don't you cook it and just reheat it (gently) tomorrow!. Getting sick on squid is not enjoyable, so be careful!. If it smells funny at all, dump it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Squid and Calamari Storage
Cover tightly and refrigerate in the coldest section or on a bed of ice!. Fresh squid should be used within two days or cleaned and frozen immediately for later use!. Fresh squid is most abundant during spring and summer!.
To freeze, place cleaned squid in heavy duty plastic freezer bags, being sure to squeeze out all the air, and seal tightly!. Use within two months!.
If you don't have access to fresh squid, check the freezer section of your market!. Cleaned, frozen squid is usually available, but you'll probably end up having to buy two to three pounds at a time!.
Frozen calamari can easily be thawed under cold running water!.
Cooked squid may be refrigerated in a tightly-sealed container for two to three days or frozen for two months!.

Unless you live were it is fished it is highly unlikely it is fresh, cleaned tube and tentacles are good for 2-4 days in the frig, uncleaned is not a long lasting, if they were whole, cleaning, removing the quill and the stomach and storing them for 2-3 days is about all they can handle, I like to use them for sauce and cook them long and slow in the sauce, or fast in a sauteed pan with garlic and olive oil and a dash of wine!.
