Potentially hazardous food should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Make that one if the ambient temperature is very warm. At that point, it should be refrigerated or re-heated.

I wouldn't personally keep steak in the fridge for more than about 3-4 days. Check with your butcher. He'll tell you the BBD of the individual meat you are buying. I'd bang it in the freezer and keep it for up to 3 months unless I was told otherwise. When you defrost it, just defrost it in the fridge for about 24 hours. Don't cook it if it not defrosted. You are asking for trouble if you do and you like it rare!

Steak is able to be left refrigerated for months on end. Usually until bugs start forming around the fat area, even then you can just scrape them off and/or torch them off witha butane lighter or matches.

Why cooked fish might not keep in as long in refrigerator?

If you are asking why cooked fish isn't keeping as long as it did before in your refrigerator, there are several possibilities, including: # The refrigerator temperature isn't holding as cold as it was before # The fish was not stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator # The cooked fish was not refrigerated soon after cooking # The cooked fish was exposed to more spoilage organisms at some point
