    You can refreeze it if you thawed the fish in the fridge overnight. However, if you thawed the fish in running tepid water or if it was left at room temperature, it should be used immediately.

    It would depend on how big the fish is and the temperature inside your fridge. The best way would be to leave it overnight and check it in the morning. If it's thawed, leave it there until you are ready to cook it. If it is still partially frozen and you are ready to cook it, try one of the quicker thawing methods mentioned in the article, such as cold water.
