Detailed explanation-1: -Correct Ways to Thaw Meat and Fish Leave food in its packaging and set it in the fridge on a rimmed tray or plate to corral any juices. It takes 5 to 6 hours per pound for meat or fish to defrost, depending on how thick it is.
Detailed explanation-2: -Food should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking (unless the manufacturer’s instructions tell you to cook from frozen or you have a proven safe method). If food is still frozen or partially frozen, it will take longer to cook.
Detailed explanation-3: -Always cook defrosted poultry, meat and fish within 24 hours and keep it in the refrigerator if you are not cooking it straight away. This will keep it out of the danger zone. Once poultry, meat and fish have been fully defrosted, they should not be refrozen unless thoroughly cooked.
