    Dear Enrique

    Why? The fish is going to thaw out completely at some point.You might be
    able to process partly frozen fish, but the product will thaw out later so
    any liquid losses you refer to will occur at some stage.

    > I have recommended this thawing method for whole round seafrozen
    fish only, to prepare, i.g. skinless fillets.>

    Blocks of whole/gutted fish frozen at sea or on land, and blocks of fillets,
    can be successfully thawed by air blast thawing. The process is very
    versatile.
