Safe to eat? Tightly sealed, cooked, started at a chilled state

It's probably safe to eat.

Personally, I wouldn't eat it though.

Is this a real question?

At the camp, lots of times after frying some specks and fried we’d put it all in a covered dish and leave in the oven (not heat) over night. Munch on some throughout the night while night fishing, eat more in the morning for breakfast.

We were perfectly fine.

Now if it were something like boiled crabs or fried oysters, no way we’d leave that out, or eat if it had been left out for 12 hours.

Broiled lobster tails and boiled shrimp. Very tightly sealed. Maybe closer to 14 hours tbh

No funky smell whatsoever

Fried fish, shrimp, or oysters....good to eat.

we do it all the time at the camp. Fry fresh fish/shrimp and eat supper. Leave them covered on counter and eat the next day for breakfast or on the way home in the beer box flat

No. It’s not safe to eat after 12 hours. Covered has nothing to do with it, it’s the temperature for 12 hours that you have to worry about. Bacteria grow over time and 12 hours is a lot of time for it to grow.

Crisp it up in the air fryer and you'll be set

Let your wife eat some. If she doesn’t get sick, you can eat it.

If you get food poisoning you might spend the next 12 hours on the terlet.

Lot of fraidy cats in this thread. I’d put it on bread with mayonnaise that’s been left out as well and have lunch. Not like you left it in a hot car for a day.

It’s cooked for Christ sake.

Fun fact: cooking doesn’t kill all bacteria, it kills ENOUGH bacteria to not get you sick (assuming it’s there to begin with). The bacteria can still grow and 12-14 hours is a long time.

Of course, you also have to account for any bacteria that may have gotten on the food after it was cooked.

I drive without wearing a seatbelt and I’ve never been in a wreck. But just because I’ve never wrecked, doesn’t mean no seatbelt is safe.

Well I’d say a little mild discomfort from possible bacteria on room temperature cooked lobster is a bit easier to tolerate and I’d be more apt to consume it, rather than a vegetable that went through the windshield of a Buick because he refused wear a seatbelt. Imagine the bacteria associated with that road rash even though you would be fully cooked.

Plus I don’t think I would become a ward of the state and thus a taxpayer burden for stomach cramps and diarrhea.

People do die from food poising.

I venture to guess I’m not going far out on a limb and bet more people die from not wearing a seatbelt.

Preaching the perils of food poisoning while admitting you do not wear a seatbelt pretty much discounts your opinion in my eyes.

I think I’ll leave a piece of cooked fish out tonight and eat tomorrow just to feel I’m really living in the thread. I’ll probably lock all the doors and cut that do not remove tag off my mattress too.

Hope you don’t see me in the obituaries tomorrow.
