Answer
Can fish be refrozen after thawing?
Refreezing thawed fish is risky if it has not been kept at the correct temperature the entire time. Once fish has warmed up too much, bacteria can multiply quickly, and freezing it again does not make it safe. In practice, refreezing is exactly the kind of handling problem that can cause serious food safety issues in Mallorca supply chains.
