Exactly
Frozen Foods have bad press
Agree 100%. In the case of the sashimi grade stuff whenever we order we buy some fresh and some frozen for later. There is a difference but not as much as one would think. We're inland so at our local supermarkets etc, we always buy the flash frozen fish (for cooking, that is.) Most of the stuff at the fish counters has been frozen and thawed by them anyway and who knows how it's been handled. When you buy frozen you cut out that variable.
