How true Kendall. Friday, I thawed two lovely salmon tail fillets I had bought (I bought 4 packages at a very good price and froze 3 - they are okay if you use them within two months). Upon opening the package, I could smell them. The one on the bottom, not entirely visible in the package, was slightly discoloured at the base. The "packaged date" was the day before I bought them but they HAD to be several days old. They went in the garbage. If the next package smells like fish, it'll be going back to the store.
