I’m a great believer in **collective logic** , so hit me with it. I stuck some frozen battered fish on a kitchen top and forgot about it for maybe an hour:| Is it safe to stick back in the freezer then cook well… or bin it? I guess the answer is obvious, but I like the “what doesn’t kill you makes you have stomach cramps”:stare: ---

This is easily the worst question ever asked. Throw away your sick counter-top semi-firm mostly-rotten fish goo. ---

Can I add that you should NEVER thaw fish at room temperature? ---

[QUOTE=Adam14;2345171]Can I add that you should NEVER thaw fish at room temperature?[/QUOTE] Should never be thawing fish anyway, not fresh fish. However, that’s completely different than uber preserved Gordon’s battered fish. With that being said, I’d toss that semi-thawed crap out. ---

I don’t know if there is an actual temperature - I’m sure there is - but fish, poultry, pork etc. should be thawed either in the fridge or in cold water. Not sure why exactly that is, but I just know that it is. ---

I thaw chicken and pork out in the kitchen overnight all the time. never had food poisoning from it. People can get too fussy about that kind of thing. For example i know people who keep their ketchup, i’ll say that again, KETCHUP, in the fridge! ---

I usually dethaw via microwave or room temperature, never had an issue. I never eat fish tho, and chicken I usually dethaw via microwave - I don’t trust letting it sit out. ---

I agree - and it’s not to say that I haven’t thawed a huge turkey out in the open due to forgetting to take it out in time. But I do keep my ketchup in the fridge…does it not need to be refrigerated after opening? ---

I wondered what moron decided that unthaw, dethaw and thaw all acceptably mean the same thing. “Back in my day” there was only thaw :lol: ---
