Jas, that is a very good question. Some people may have the same question and not know what it is either, so like I said it's a good question.

Without seeing a photo of it, it would most likely be exactly what smile said, freezer burn. That's when that area (spot) gets dehydrated. You would have seen some things come out of the freezer with ice crystals on them, those ice crystals are the moisture of the fish comming out and then it freezes. The longer it is in the freezer the more likely it would happen. That's why John Dory asked you how long has it been in the freezer for. The white spots are just this. Those areas (spots) is where it has dehydrated a lot and turned white.

Fine to eat

Cheers, Bugz

Sad how some members poke fun at other member's expense.

I'd rather give the benefit of the doubt to every member rather than the benefit of my wit at their expense

Cheers, Bug

One of the best ‘fishing’ purchases you can make.
Just do it, buy a vac sealer.
