Buying Fish

Fresh or Frozen?

If you have ever wondered about the relative advantages of fresh versus frozen fish, it is helpful to know that more and more professional chefs use both fresh and frozen fish interchangeably in their foodservice operations.

Taste panel tests carried out in the Fisheries Food Center show that consumers find the flavor, texture and appearance of frozen and fresh fish equally acceptable.

Both fresh and frozen fish offer similar nutritional value.
