Absolutely--the freeze/thaw cycle breaks down proteins in fish and anything else. Some of the impact depends on the specific fish and your palate. A previously frozen Filet-O-Fish is delicious. But very few sushi eaters would enjoy previously frozen tuna, and (I think) most grilled salmon eaters would notice the downgrade to frozen salmon instead of fresh.
