Which is better, Fresh or Frozen? It is all up to preference. Fresh is ready to cook now, where a frozen will need to be defrosted. Doing this in the fridge is best. Allow one day per 5 pounds to thaw completely. You can soak it in cold water to spead up the process. 30 minutes per pound to thaw it out. Fresh is also costing about 1.00 more a pound, as I have seen. I just paid .39/lb yesterday for frozen. I put it right into the fridge.
