Frozen fish is a great option for those who live far from the sea. Freezing helps to preserve freshness and get rid of harmful microorganisms.
How to defrost fish
The best option is to send frozen fish to the refrigerator a few hours before cooking.
First, you need to get the fish out of the package, and then put it in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Defrosting fish in the refrigerator takes from 10 hours to a day. The time depends on the size of your fish.
How to defrost fish quickly
If you urgently need to defrost fish, there is one way:
- Remove the fish from the packaging and transfer to a plastic, sealed bag.
- Place the bagged fish in a bowl of cold water.
- Change water every 10 minutes.
How to store thawed fish
After defrosting, it is recommended to cook the product immediately.
If you do not have the opportunity to cook right away, store it in the refrigerator. Use an airtight container or bag for storage.
Do not re-freeze fish, as this is unsafe for health and degrades the quality of the product.
