While EPA and DHA are sensitive to oxidation during fish storage and processing, post-mortem degradation in the first hours following fish death is poorly documented. Here, we stored fish at two temperatures (2-4°C and 18-20°C) and monitored EPA+DHA content in dorsal fillet 6, 12 and 24 hours after fish death and after cooking (grill or steam). Storage duration was the only influencing factor, and EPA+DHA loss was faster at 18-20°C. Six hours after fish death, EPA+DHA content decreased by 1.3±1.3 mg.g-1 (9.6±9.5% of the initial content) but it was highly variable among individuals. Handling between fishing and storage should be as short and as cool as possible to preserve EPA+DHA and food safety. Regarding cooking, EPA+DHA and mono-unsaturated fatty acids increased in grilled fillets.
