7 Best Frozen Fish Fillets Made With 100% Real Fish That Cost 60% Less Than Fresh
How fresh is the fish at your local grocery store’s fish counter? Unless you’re in a location where the store brings in fresh-caught fish daily, chances are the seafood has already been frozen and defrosted, which means it makes far better sense just to buy it frozen. Fish that has been flash-frozen at sea is kept in the freshest state possible, and it’s also significantly cheaper (30-60% by some estimations) than ‘fresh’. Luckily, there are many excellent frozen options available: Here are seven of the best fish fillets made with 100% real fish.
