Frozen Fish and Seafood
• Place frozen fish or seafood on a dish or in a casserole. Cover loosely with heavy-duty plastic wrap or waxed
paper. Defrost, covered, according to the time recommended on the chart, or until thawed.
• Allow thawed seafood to stand for an equal period of defrosting time before cooking to ensure seafood is
totally defrosted. Larger seafood pieces can be held under cold running water, if necessary, to finish the
defrosting process, or to allow frozen fillets to be separated. Fish and seafood should be totally defrosted
before cooking.
• Rearrange, stir or turn fish or seafood halfway through cooking time.
