Giovanni in Moro Bay California is having a free shipping in California event.
I had bought these last week, shipped with ice because I wanted it to arrive frozen, and it was.
This time I also ordered with Oysters
, and the fish was not frozen when they arrived! The last is smoked black cod.
I was disappointed that the fish was not frozen, and was writing to the company when I noticed this
"You’ve been issued a refund of $10.00
We do not ship dry ice with live shellfish, we added in extra gel packs in return. Have a wonderful rest of your day!
I wrote
I wondered about that! If I had known, I would have skipped the oysters to receive my fish frozen. How long can I hold the fish before cooking and still have the quality you intended?
Their reply
“None of the fish included in your order has been frozen prior. If you wish, you can freeze the fish that was shipped and you should not expect any drop in quality of the fish.”

I know folks say everything is previously frozen, but I am going to freeze half of it, and cook the rest as "fresh”.
