Why Cook Frozen Seafood?
Convenience Meets Quality
Frozen seafood has a number of excellent benefits: Seafood is often frozen at peak freshness, locking in nutrients and flavor until you’re ready to cook. Cooked frozen seafood is convenient with barely any compromise on quality.
Nutritional Value Retained
Frozen seafood, because it is usually frozen just after its catch, contains great nutrition in the form of high-quality proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals that you would want to see in seafood. Cooking your frozen seafoodcorrectly helps you maximize those benefits.
Global Availability
Cooking frozen seafood affords one the opportunity to enjoy varieties of seafood options even in places that may not have a fresh catch. Thanks to our global seafood shipping services, different varieties of frozen seafood can now be enjoyed, delivered to any location, no matter where one may be.

Safely Handling & Cooking Frozen Seafood
Good techniques along with safe handling and proper cooking will make a meal well cooked. Here is how you should treat your frozen seafood.
Thawing versus Cooking Directly from Frozen
You can cook seafood from frozen, but some kinds of seafood you may need to let thaw first; others you can just cook as is, depending on the type and method of cooking.
Best if thawed overnight in the fridge for a better texture.
Or, if you are in a hurry, use the cold water method: place the bag sealed in cold water; change the water every 30 minutes.
Most seafood, like fillets, shrimp, scallops, etc., can be cooked straight out of the freezer. That’s so convenient and still gives good results, provided the cooking time is adjusted to compensate for frozen material.
Storage & Quality Check
When you receive frozen seafood from us, first make sure that the supplier’s packaging is airtight. The seafood itself should be frozen solid, and there should not be any big ice crystals or freezer-burned spots on it. Proper storage will keep it safe and delicious to cook frozen seafood.
Basic Cooking Safety
Use an instant-read thermometer; many seafoods need to reach a temperature of about 145 °F (63 °C).
Never thaw any frozen seafood at room temperature; it allows bacteria to multiply during thawing.
Pat seafood dry once thawed to prevent excess moisture from affecting how you cook frozen seafood.
Methods and Techniques for Cooking Frozen Seafood
There are a few ways in which frozen seafood is usually cooked; those will be highlighted next. Here’s how to execute the main methods to cook frozen seafood well.
Baking / Roasting
Works great for fillets or mixed seafood. Heat oven, brush seafood with oil and seasoning, and place on baking sheet. If fillets are frozen, increase cooking time about 50% over fresh.
Sautéing / Pan-Searing
Once thawed, you can cook your seafood by simply sautéing it—or you can cook some seafood straight from frozen if you make the pan hot and the seafood is dry. Don’t overcrowd the pan so that you are properly cooking the frozen seafood.
Grilling / Broiling
Thicker frozen fish steaks and large shellfish grill and broil really well. If cooking from frozen, brush with oil and cover loosely to allow even cooking.
Steaming / Poaching
This delicate method is always good for tender shellfish or mixed frozen seafood. Steam the frozen seafood straight or right after minimal defrosting until it’s cooked through—that is how to cook frozen seafood with a minimum of fuss.
Cooking Directly from Frozen
Yes—you can cook most frozen seafood without thawing. Pop frozen fillets or shellfish straight into a pan or oven; just add a few extra minutes of cooking time and check to make sure they’re done.
Tips & Best Practices When You Cook Frozen Seafood
Just a few practical tips on how to cook frozen seafood and bring those meals to life:
Pat dry with a paper towel after thawing, to get a good texture.
Season simply with olive oil, lemon, garlic, and herbs. In this way, when cooking frozen seafood, the flavor comes through properly.
Do not overcook; otherwise, it becomes rubbery or dry.
Check the thickness and adjust cooking time, knowing some pieces cook faster than others.
Do not crowd the pan or grill. Even heating ensures better cooking of frozen seafood.
