I’m on a break from buying frozen wild salmon and today chose these refrigerated wild fish for $5.99/lb - how best to freeze? Do I freeze now or AFTER I open the package for my first cooking?
i hope it is safe to freeze. This is still much less than the $12.99/lb I paid in the past at a regular supermarket butcher counter.
You paid $12.99/lb for this exact same fish that is $5.99? I know that some fancy butcher and fishmongers charge a bit more but that sounds ridiculous if it was the same item and it was at a grocery store.
Does it say previously frozen? Where are you getting that from? If it was previously frozen you can still freeze it but just know that it loses a bit of quality each time it gets frozen and thawed. It is safe but just not recommended because of texture etc.
