Fresh vs. Frozen Current public opinion still tends to sway towards the theory that 'fresh' is always better than frozen, when in reality, a lot of 'fresh' fish sold on the market is up to nine days old. The market has been noticing a growing change though, as more and more people are beginning to realize that 'fresh' isn't always better and isn't always fresh. The term 'fresh' in the seafood industry implies that the fish has never been frozen, from catch to market to consumer. It has been kept in a chilled state until it ends up with the final consumer, you. In reality, the term Fresh should equate with Quality. Certainly a fish just caught and consumed that same day would be very high in quality if caught from the right waters. Now, if that fish were to set in the refrigerator for 9-12 days, would you still consider that it had the same high quality as the first day it was caught? People will, and should, ask the seafood seller when they received the fish they are considering purchasing.
The California Sea Grant program, a cooperative extension of the University of California offers these consumer tips for purchasing high quality seafood: Consumers should base their seafood purchases on quality. Frozen The Best Steaks on the Western Slope!
The Sterling difference!!!
Defrosting Meat and Seafood
If you're impatient like me I used to take my flash frozen seafood and place it in a bowl of cold tap water in order to defrost a pound of fish in a hour or two! The Wild Seafood is so delicious I didn't think much of it till one of my friends suggested I compare my technique to defrosting in the fridge over a day or two! BIG DIFFERENCE! A slow thaw give the fish or meat a chance to absorb the moisture back into the cellular structure of the flesh! When you defrost slowly there is virtually no difference between it and fresh! It works the same way with steaks and other meats!
