Best case was about 6pm yesterday to 6:30 this morning. Worst case about 4:30. Gallon size bag, full and fully frozen left out to defrost. Smells a hint fishy but not terrible. Any chance here or am I just asking for it?

It wasn't cold at all this AM before getting it back in the fridge.

I'd fry it all for lunch, you'll be fine.

I have done this, unfortunately, on more than one occasion. I have never had a single issue from eating.

Probably ok since frozen but I would toss because that is what I would do, especially with seafood. Was it still cold?

If it were just for me and it were steaks or something like that where there was a low chance of contamination below the surface, they weren't packed in a liquid, and I'm going to be applying a blast furnace to the surface? I'd probably go for it, but I'd think real hard and smell it REAL good.

If I were using the meat to feed other people or if the meat was chicken that's very often contaminated during processing or seafood that can go bad in a heartbeat or it swam all night stewing in its own bacteria sustaining soup?
