Can you defrost fish on the counter?
Chef's answer
Make sure never to defrost fish at room temperature or in warm or hot water as this is when bacteria can multiply rapidly. A quicker and well-known way of defrosting fish is in cold water. The fish must be in a sealed bag for safety and to preserve the flavour, and submerged in water until it is defrosted..
