Question
can I freeze baked tilapia for later use?
Hi m.dukes,
Thanks for your question. Cooked fish can be frozen but not for too long. Frozen food continues to decay but much slower than fresh, of course. If you freeze your tilapia, don't wait more than a week or two to eat it. Up to a month is safe but the flavor will deteriorate. Also keep in mind that if the fish was already frozen before you cooked it then re-freezing it will not do the flavor any favors!
Hope that answered your question.
