If frozen fish thaws can it be frozen again?

Answer 1

No, frozen is frozen. But you can refreeze something that has been thawed. You can refreeze thawed meat long as there are still ice crystals on it. Once completely thawed then you need to cook it first then refreeze.

This applies to solid pieces only, ground meat once more than half thawed needs to be cooked first then refrozen always.

Answer 2

You can re-freeze it - with a few ifs:

* If it was thawed in the refrigerator * If it was very fresh when first frozen * If it has not been sitting around for too long after thawing and is not starting to spoil Going through extra freeze-thaw cycles will degrade the quality of the meat. You might be better off cooking it first, then re-freezing the meat.

Answer 3

It is fine to do this but the meat does not need to be cooked again as it is already cooked. Heating it up to 160 degrees will do. You can also put the meat in various dishes such as stews, soups and tacos or whatever.

Answer 4

No, when frozen fish has completely thawed once it should be cooked straight away.
After it has been cooked it can be refrozen again as a cooked meal, but should again only be frozen and thawed once. See the link below for more information about defrosting frozen fish
