...it. It's been about a day? and a half since i purchased it. I have scallops, shrimp, and clams.

Also I used some of the fish to cook seafood paella, how long will i have before the cooked left overs need to be tossed?
 
You have to be soooooo careful with seafood. I wouldn't eat any of it after today, and if you do cook it today make sure it's thoroughly done. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid about these things, but I personally would throw it away. I couldn't eat anything I wasn't sure about. But you may be fine-maybe I'm just a bit over-cautious.
 
Did the seafood not have a use by date?If not check that it still smells healthy and use like now.If you don't use it today I would not take a chance on eating it seafood needs to be extremely fresh it is notorious for making you ill when it is old.Same goes for cooked leftovers.
 
Well, i normally cook seafood on the day i buy it, it'll last for another day and then i'd bin it, as it'll affect the taste and texture.

About a day for the paella, i wouldn't risk it leaving it any longer, especially with clams.
