November 5th, 2009 About.com Freshwater Fishing I love fish cooked in a lot of different ways. Some are more healthy than others, but they all taste good. As the weather turns bad this is a good time to pull out some of those frozen fish and cook them up, bring back the fishing trip when you caught them. Fresh fish are better but even frozen fish are better than no fish at all.
