yes to all of this  i’m also a fan of frozen chicken breasts  fish filets - sometimes they come wrapped in an unholy amount of plastic but i can take out what i need and reseal the bag once in a blue moon i have enough presence of mind to buy a large pack of chicken and wrap upfreeze the individual pieces but that’s not often  a lot of the frozen stuff has quick thaw instructions on the bag so i don’t have to think ahead about defrosting
