Defrost frozen fish in original plastic packaging. Safe? - General Topics - Chowhound: "The curious thing about seafood is that when in an anaerobic (airless) environment, there is a chance of the formation of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, also known as C-bot, a cause of food poisoning.

I called Kroger at 1-800-632-6900 to ask about their Pink Salmon Fillets (their spelling of Filets) which bears the warning: "REMOVE FISH FROM VACUUM POUCH BEFORE THAWING".
