Is it better to freeze fish raw or cooked?

Asked: David Flynn, Last Updated:

If raw or cooked fish is not going to be used within the recommended time, it should be frozen to prevent it from perishing. Raw fish can be stored safely in a refrigerator at 40°F or lower for 2 to 3 days. Oily fish will store longer than lean fish and whole fish will store better than steaks and fillets.
