Store fish on ice so it can drain (don’t let it sit in water)

Keep fish on ice with enough space to drain so it isn’t sitting in meltwater.

From Cuisinart CanadaWatch this bit

When storing fresh or thawed fish, set it on ice in a way that allows water to run off. Avoid leaving fish submerged in pooled water.

The short version

Store on ice
Ensure meltwater drains away

What goes wrong

Leaving fish sitting in meltwater

Elevate fish or use a setup that drains while keeping it cold on ice

Why it works

Sitting in water degrades quality and can make fish watery and less pleasant to cook.
