Helpful Hints from joeeze: How to keep fish fresh in your fridge for twice as long
No, I didn't read it in a magazine but, rather, in a January 2, 2007 New York Times Dining section article sidebar by Harold McGee, who wrote, "Most home refrigerators average 40 to 45 degrees, but they'd do a better job if they were kept colder. Drop the temperature to 32, and fresh ocean fish will last twice as long — for as long as a week."
Reading the above we cannot help but recall Benjamin Franklin's observation that "Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days."

Funny that you ended that post with a Ben Franklin quote. He, much like the chilled fish, took nightly "air baths."

From that site:
Did you know that Franklin was so sure that fresh air was important for good health that he took a daily "air bath"? He wrote to the French physician, Jacques Barbeu-Dubourg, describing it thus: "I rise early almost every morning and sit in my chamber, without any clothes whatever, half an hour or an hour, according to the season, either reading or writing."

So frozen foods keep longer than chilled foods? Duh.
