Keep Your Sushi

As a general rule of thumb, the answer is no. Sushi is best eaten fresh, insuring that you enjoy the full flavor of the ingredients - especially the fish. It's recommended by local sushi chefs that sushi be consumed immediately, or within two to four hours. However, if you do decide to try and save your sushi, adhere to some of the following guidelines: The first step would be to separate the rice from the fish.

Next, since sushi rice is mixed with vinegar, it doesn't pose a problem storing it in a cool place. Just make sure that it's wrapped securely. As for the fish, it is absolutely necessary that it go into the refrigerator; otherwise, it will spoil! Again, be sure to wrap the fish tightly. Although the sushi will be edible the next day, it probably will have lost a lot of its flavor.

As for the Fish

It must be covered with a bag of ice and kept in the coldest part of the refrigerator. It can last up to a week in a freezer if tightly sealed in a plastic bag or saran wrap.
