Taste Panel Assessment of Cod Fillets After Single and Double Freezing
Taste panel assessment is reported for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) frozen once and twice, and stored at −23 C. The fish were bled, gutted, and iced immediately after capture, and frozen as fillets or dressed fish before, during, and after rigor mortis. Dressed fish were thawed later in recirculated...
