Can you eat ham 3 days expired?
Chef's answer
When it comes to canned ham, it comes with a best-by date, and can easily retain quality for a few weeks past that date. Once you open the tin, eat the ham within 3 to 5 days..

No, I wouldn't risk it with either meat or fish. Apparently with some foods even if they smell ok then they still might be deteriorating/going bad. Also, senses of smell can vary, someone with a "sensitive nose" might sniff your fish and say that it smells a bit off.

Use-by dates are about safety You will see use-by dates on food that goes off quickly, such as meat products or ready-to-eat salads. ... After the use-by date, don't eat, cook or freeze your food.

Use by dates are there because a lot of people cannot tell when something is spoiled. If you cooked something until is has piping hot throughout (which you WOULD do with sausages) and the food wasn't discoloured, smelly, slimy or had white bumps of mould growing on it... most likely you will be just fine.
