Frozen food is food preserved by the process of freezing. Freezing food is a common method of food preservation which slows both food decay and, by turning water to ice, makes it unavailable for bacterial growth and slows down most chemical reactions.

Ever wonder why your low fat ice cream is oh-so-creamy? "In June, Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch conglomerate, applied to Britain’s Food Standards Agency for permission to use a new ingredient in its frozen desserts — a protein cloned from the blood of an eel-like Arctic Ocean fish, the ocean pout." Mmmmmmmm.

Bettas are carnivorous. In the wild, they live off of insects and their larvae. Their mouth is designed to snatch prey on the surface of the water, and their digestive tract is too short to metabolize most plants. This means they are best suited for live food, but they can adapt to flakes and frozen or freeze dried foods.

Forget orange and cherry. The furry creatures at the Toronto Zoo have made fish and blood their ice-pop flavours of the month. They need the treats to beat the heat. For polar bears, the recipe includes fish, apples and food colouring frozen into a bucket-sized "fishsicle" they can play with in the pool.
