Does Freezing Salmon Ruin It?
Freezing salmon does not necessarily ruin it, but it can affect the texture and taste. Freezing fish at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C) can cause ice crystals to form inside the flesh, which damages the cellular structure and can result in a mushy texture and loss of flavor. However, if frozen properly in an airtight container and at the right temperature, salmon can be safely stored for several months without ruining it.
