What is the safe temperature for fish?

  1. 60°C for at least 15 seconds

  2. 65°C for at least 15 seconds

  3. 70°C for at least 15 seconds

  4. 75°C for at least 15 seconds

The correct answer is: 70°C for at least 15 seconds

The safe temperature for fish is 70°C for at least 15 seconds. This temperature ensures that harmful bacteria and pathogens present in the fish are effectively destroyed, making it safe for consumption. It's important to cook fish thoroughly to the recommended internal temperature to prevent foodborne illnesses. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reach the recommended safe temperature of 70°C.
