In assessing contract legal remedies, what are incidental damages?

Many business deals are complex (even if they don't seem to be) with multiple individuals or resources working together in order to complete some job or task. For example, imagine if you were planning a large party and wanted to serve seafood. You realize you don't have a large fridge to hold the seafood, so you specifically contract with the seller to deliver your food on the specific day of your event at a specific time before it is to be eaten. However, the company ends up delivering your seafood two days earlier. You're now stuck with a bunch of food that is at risk of going bad. Rather than let it go bad, you may opt to rent some chilled storage space at a local grocery store to hold it until your party. This would cost money that you wouldn't have had to pay if the seller delivered on the correct day. These costs are considered "incidental damages" in contract law, and you'd be allowed to sue the seller to cover them since they caused them as a result of their contract breach.
