The trick is to somehow make a frozen fish just as appealing on the meat counter as, say, a pork chop or ribeye—a difficult job if that flounder fillet is frozen stiff.

"One reason is that they can judge the quality of unfrozen products ; As part of his Sea Grant research, Lanier and his associate, Reino.

Chemical preservatives are un- popular with consumers these days, and radiation techniques—if they're approved — would likely meet resistance as well. "After twenty years of research, the Food and Drug Administration is Korhonen, conducted a market study of the public's reaction to "previously frozen" seafoods—fish quick-frozen but defrosted before they were set out for sale.
