    I make diy fish food all the time and you have to thaw the food to do so.

    When defrosting and then freezing again, you loose some vitamins and further degrade the fats. Not enough to make a difference really, if done correctly. It should be thawed in the fridge and only slushy thawed. If it gets either bit warm, the bacteria numbers can go up.

    Leaving something out for 24 hours at room temp.... ew.
