Brendan,

Re-heating fish is a real no-no tbh. Reheating any fish or meat is dodgy as it has to be eaten whilst still pretty hot. as it cools the bacteria come alive again (only expression I can think of) fish tends to cool down far quicker and does tend to be one of the main culprits of food poisoning.

Please tell me I'm not too late.

+1 Fish is a massive nono for reheating..meat I'm OK with (like reheating a curry or something) but Fish will make you very very sick if you do.

If you refrigerated your surplus prawn balls immediately you may get away with just mild nausea.

Dodgy ground here i wouldn't reheat fish.

If you do be prepared for a soggy batter episode too.

Unless you re deep fry them that is.

I wouldn't re-heat seafood.

Reheating rice from the takeaway is a bad idea as well apparently.

Google is good:

It's true that you could get food poisoning from eating reheated rice. But it's not actually the reheating that's the problem – it's the way the rice has been stored before reheating.

Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, bacteria that can cause food poisoning. When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive. Then, if the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores will germinate into bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that cause vomiting or diarrhoea. Reheating the rice won't get rid of these toxins.

So, the longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that bacteria, or the toxins they produce, could stop the rice being safe to eat.

It's best to serve rice when it has just been cooked. If that isn't possible, cool the rice as quickly as possible (ideally within one hour) and keep it in the fridge for no more than one day until reheating.

Remember that when you reheat any food, you should always check that it's piping hot all the way through, and avoid reheating more than once.
