How Long Does Frozen Fish Last?

One of the biggest advantages of keeping quality fish in the freezer is knowing dinner is always within reach.

But how long does frozen fish actually last?

When stored correctly at -18°C or below, frozen fish can maintain excellent quality for many months.

Keeping fish well sealed helps prevent freezer burn and protects its texture and flavour.

Once thawed, it’s best to cook it within one to two days.

The easiest way to thaw fish

Place it in the refrigerator overnight.

Need it sooner?

Keep it sealed and thaw it under cold running water.

Avoid thawing fish on the kitchen counter.

Quick dinner idea

Season hake with paprika, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil.

Bake until flaky.

Serve with rice and a crisp green salad.

Healthy doesn’t have to be complicated.
