Answers:
If it was frozen, the expiration date means nothing!.
Was it bought frozen!?
Did you buy it fresh and freeze it!?

Thaw it out and smell it!.
Slight odor, wash with lemon juice and water!.

It will be fine!. The use by date is when you just put it in the refrigerator!. Then I wouldn't use it, but you froze it, so go ahead and enjoy!. You could keep in the freezer for several months and it will still be good!. Have a great meal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It should still be okay to cook, especially since it was frozen directly after buying!.
I have kept meat and poultry in my freezer past the "use by" date, and still cooked it and it was just as tasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
