When it comes to fish, you might think that fresh is always better. However, that's one of the biggest myths about frozen food
Flash-freezing fish allows businesses to extend the fish's shelf life, and it tastes better, according to an Oregon State University study.
Daily Meal spoke to Kenny Leung, Executive Chef at YAO NYC, to find out which fish is best to buy frozen.
Chilean sea bass is his top pick, but he also believes that cod, haddock, and salmon are great choices
He explained that these fish are quickly frozen after being caught to stay fresh while being transported.
On the other end of the scale, you should avoid getting certain frozen fish that are naturally oily
When tuna and yellowtail are frozen, for instance, they can lose their texture and even some of their flavor.
That's why cod and haddock are good choices for frozen fish: They are lean species and can hold their quality for up to six months in the freezer.
