According to many resources on the internet (including Wikipedia) food that is freezer burned is safe, however the taste may be affected depending on the severity and/or length of time the food has been affected. Yes, but it will not taste very good.

I was wondering the same thing and apparently it IS safe to eat and discarding freezer burned fish/meat is more for "quality" reasons. Heavily freezer burned food should probably not be eaten just because it wont taste too great. For less freezer-burned food, just cut away the pieces before or after cooking.

Cook it first; it will be safe to eat, but expect it to be flavorless, dry, and tough.

It might be microbiologically safe, but flavor-wise - it isn't worth the effort.
