What it is
These are pre-portioned fish fillets, typically cod or haddock, that have been flash-frozen to preserve their freshness. They are usually coated in a light breading or seasoned simply, making them convenient for quick meal preparation. The freezing process locks in the texture and flavor of the fish, offering a reliable option for home cooks. They are a common item found in the freezer aisle of most grocery stores.
