Dear President's Choice Blue Menu,
I buy your fish for two reasons:
1. I like eating fish.
2. I would like to continue eating fish in the future, and your fish has the sustainability logo on it.
However, I am single. Thus, when I buy your package of two fillets, I intend to eat each fillet at a different time. Eating two fillets at once is both too much food, and dramatically raises the cost of the meal.
My mother taught me that re-freezing fish is not safe food handling practice. Thus, when you package your fillets together in such a way that the two are solidly fused together in a single block of ice... well... I regret having purchased your product.
I suspect you chose your packaging because it reduces freezer-burn. (Unless you didn't want to buy equipment to flash-freeze the individual fillets?) However, I would rather risk a little freezer burn, and be able to choose my portion size. Please consider changing your packaging methods.
Thank you.
It is possible to partially thaw, so they can be separated, then refreeze without damage - just be sure to re-wrap tightly (I've taken to using aluminum foil rather than plastic wrap, though vacuum bags work too) to prevent freezer burn - air is the offender in that...
