Chest freezer has a very cold and discolored spot on the outside of the freezer about 6 inches in diameter Is the freezer about to go out?

while a chest freezer is the most ideal way of freezing foods because cold air drops ,the evaporator coils run in the lining of the chest a cold spot on the outside of the freezer could be caused by a void in the insulation(due to a previous repair) a discoloration about 6"in diameter sounds like it could be heat buildup from the compressor which on some models is 6' IN DIAMETER but to have a discoloration and a cold spot in the same place knocks these theories out of the box if they are in the same place. as far as the freezer being on its way out there is no way to tell. i always tell people to put as much food in a freezer as they can afford to lose because other things could cause food loss eg. blackout, storms, young children leaving lid up and food piled up preventing lid to seal.

How long will freshly made clam broth stay fresh when refrigerated?

It depends on a number of factors, namely how quickly it was chilled before refrigeration (i.e. blast chiller, water cooled or just allowed to cool naturaly- the quicker it's chilled the longer it will last), and on your refrigerator's operating temperature. It should be between 0 and 5 degrees c., and this should be checked periodically with an accurate thermometer.

Basically, the less time your clam broth spends in the bacterial "danger temp. zone" (between 5 deg. c. and 60 deg. c., when bacteria breed and are most active) the longer it will be safe to eat. If your clams were fresh when cooked, and chilled properly and quickly, then up to 3 days, in my opinion. But check carefully for signs of spoilage before eating shellfish AFTER ANY STORAGE PERIOD. The associated food poisoning is extremely unpleasant and debilitating.

Oh, and when you reheat, do it thoroughly, in Scotland it would legally have to be 82 degrees plus for a few minutes in the catering industry.

You got some frozen Halibut and it thawed out while in the fridge--Can you re-freeze it?

What I have researched so far (with your particular situation) is "yes" you can, mainly because you thawed the product just above freezing instead of at room temperature, and kept the product at refridge temps. Although, you should refreeze soon after that. The down side....... Numerous "freeze-thaw-freeze" cycles will eventually adversely affect the quality of the product.
