The main course in most of my meal plans is the one item that consistently costs the most so I am forever looking for the best bargains on meat, fish and poultry.  Our family loves fish and it is hard to find great deals on fresh fish due to the expense associated with bringing the fish fresh to market.  I normally avoid frozen fish simply because in the past I have tasted freezer burn after it was prepared and I don't like this.  But, recently, I learned that the flash freezing methods used these days are pretty advanced.  So, when I saw tuna frozen tuna steak were on sale, I bought a frozen pound ($6.99) and thought I would give them a try.  Afterall, that is a great price!

 

At Wisegeek.com, I found out that the concept of flash freezing was first developed by Clarence Birdseye.  Yes, that is the frozen vegetable company.  He wanted to find a way to eat fresh vegetables in the winter, and to move produce around without the risk of damage.  Also, he realized that freezing food at extremely cold temperatures well below the freezing point could be an excellent preservation method, so he turned the concept into a massive frozen foods company, inspiring other pioneers to do likewise. 

Well, when our tuna steaks came off the grill and we enjoyed our dinner, I could not tell the difference!  Since then I have bought other fish such as Grouper, Haddock and Tilapia and have had the same experience.  So now I check the frozen fish specials and stock up when it's a great deal since the item is already frozen!  I am happy to report that we have consistently been able to enjoy fish in our diet for about the half price of fresh fish!
