Fact: Seafood starts a spoiling process as soon as it is removed from the water. That is the reason for commercial freezer boats. The degree of spoilage is determine by species, time, and temperature. Commercially, seafood is often flash frozen, thawed and re-flash frozen. The trick is in the flash freezing which is instant. Slow freezing in a home freezer after it has already been thawed can break down the texture of the flesh as OH suggested. But the real concern was what temperature the refrigerator kept the fish at during the thawed time period. Different places in a refrigerator will have different temperatures and how often the door is opened will also effect the temperatures. Most vegetables are best kept at 47 degrees F while most red meats are best kept around 41 degrees F. Thus most refrigerators are set somewhere in those two ranges, but most seafood needs around 36 degrees F or below to best keep. That is why I add ice to a pan of fish filets even in my fridge. Fish filets will definitely keep for several weeks if they are kept cold enough so if the filets were kept in an area of your fridge that was cold enough, they would be safe to eat, but after re-freezing, the quality of the fish would be in serious question.
