How long does surimi seafood last in the fridge?

Until package use-by date.

Can you freeze surimi seafood, and for how long?

Yes. 9 months from the date of purchase.

Throw it out if it smells off, feels slimy or sticky, shows mold, or has changed color. Storage times assume it was handled safely and kept cold the whole time.
