I have frozen some fish that says 'do not freeze'. Is it ruined?

[2pt4kids]

Bought some cod fillets and put them in freezer.
Took them out yesterday to defrost.
Just taken them out fridge to cook with and have noticed that it says on packet 'This has been frozen previously. Do not re-freeze'

Bugger.

Stupid thing is that it was only in my freezer a few days and is actually BB today. I should have kept it in the fridge!

Is it ruined?

yes i would think it is ruined. would have been ok if cooked first but i definitely would not eat it.

Nonsense! It'll be fine ;)

I wouldnt eat it

you should only freeze and thaw food once - that cod was probably previously frozen and thawed and that's why it said do not freeze

It would have been previously frozen. They freeze it to transport, defrost to sell so it looks fresh, soo yes ruined, sorry

I think its texture might not be all that - but it depends what you are going to do with it whether that matters. It's still within its BB date so it won't kill you

Don't eat it, sorry, it wil have been forzen twice now so very dangerous, expecially for fish.

Bugger.

I wont use it. Its going in bin

Was going to make fish pie for me and the children. Have done the mash and everything.

Can I make fish pie with just smoked haddock and veg in it? lol

Why are things not supposed to be re-frozen

It won't make you poorly! Freezing and thawing doesn't introduce extra bacteria, and it's still within date! It might toughen it up a bit, that's all.
(Look I even found a link - scroll a bit down this one

I would use it.
as long as you cook it at a high temp for long enough any bacteria will be killed off and it'll be fine.

I cant. It's mostly for the children and they are only 3yrs and 11 months so cant risk making them sick.

ok then. i'd feed it to my kids too. but your choice

am sure it'll be fine with just the haddock though
