Values for IQF fillets having an asterisk (*) indicate a significant difference between fresh and IQF for the corresponding treatment. Values with the same superscript letter, within a row, are not significantly different (p ˃ .05).

Pseudo lipid content obtained by subtracting percent moisture, ash, and protein from 100.
