Does anybody make high-fish?

I have some wild salmon in my fridge which has been in there for five days and its beginning to smell pretty bad.  Is there such a thing as high-fish, or only high-meat?   Is there greater risk in consuming high-fish?

how is the fish stored?  if it has been open to the air it should be starting to dry out and will be delicious, if you have had it covered you might have suffocated any good bacteria and are just decomposing the fish

It was a pound of fish in a half gallon-plus container that I opened daily because I kept planning to eat it but just never got around to it (it was refrigerated constantly).  How does the air make a difference in fostering the right bacteria when the gut is virtually airtight anyway?

You will be fine eating it. I made high fish by burying a week old fish in garden for a month and it ate it fine. Our guts have oxygen from circulation of blood.

I make high fish. I have no problems from eating it.

If it smells bad for me, I wouldn't eat it. I doubt very much that an animal would ever eat something that smells bad to him.
