You got some frozen Halibut and it thawed out while in the fridge--Can you re-freeze it?
Drifter1853
What I have researched so far (with your particular situation) is "yes" you can, mainly because you thawed the product just above freezing instead of at room temperature, and kept the product at refridge temps. Although, you should refreeze soon after that. The down side....... Numerous "freeze-thaw-freeze" cycles will eventually adversely affect the quality of the product.

It isn't generally safe to refreeze raw food. This is especially true for chicken, which is contaminated with salmonella at scary-high rates. If the chicken has thawed, it isn't generally safe to refreeze it and eat it later. This is especially true if it is thawed in room-temperature water rather than being thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, the chicken should be cooked fairly quickly. Once cooked, it can then be frozen for later consumption.

Can you refreeze raw vacuum packed meat?
It depends somewhat on the meat. However, most red meats and pork can be re-frozen with this caveat: the meat must have been thawed in the refrigerator. If it was quick thawed in water or the microwave, it should not be refrozen. It depends on how completely it was defrosted. If it still had ice crystals it was not thawed completely. If all of it got over 32 Deg F do not refreeze.
