Thanks, Whimsey--I stand corrected. I did not quite believe your post at first, so did a bit of research. Although freezing and thawing does break down proteins, and I will still stay away from stuff marked previously frozen, it would appear that I have eaten plenty of delicious previously frozen sushi.
Great article on sushi and freezing here: https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/08/n...ep-freeze.html
