When it comes to cooking seafood at home, there’s no better option than flash-frozen seafood. Here are some fast facts and myths explained to help you get started!

Three Fast Facts:

1. Flash freezing locks in moisture and natural flavor, meaning your finished dish will be deliciously flavorful every time.
2. Flash frozen seafood stays fresh for up to six months in the freezer, so you can stock up when you find a great deal. Many flash frozen options come already prepped and seasoned, making meal prep even more convenient!

3. One of the main advantages of flash-frozen seafood is that it comes individually frozen. This means each piece is frozen separately, resulting in fewer pieces sticking together and less waste. Plus, you can easily grab just the right amount for whatever recipe you’re making, saving time and money in the process.

Myths:

• Myth: Frozen seafood isn’t as fresh as fresh seafood.
• Fact: Frozen seafood is typically caught and frozen immediately after harvest. In many cases, this means it’s actually fresher than the “fresh” seafood sitting on display in the store.

• Myth: Defrosting frozen seafood takes a long time.
  Fact: Not necessarily! Shrimp, for example, can be defrosted relatively quickly by simply placing them in cold water for about 10-15 minutes. Once thawed, you can cook them as you would fresh shrimp!
