Frozen meat/ fish: Was the fish/ meat still frozen to touch after 25 minutes ? Was it cold? In general 25 minutes outside of the freezer /refrigerator on a cool day should not have significant pathologic effects . If it had thawed and no ice crystals are present do not return it to the freezer. See below f/u/ w/ doc http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/H/HE-0471/HE-0471.pdf
