Can I eat(completely) thawed and refrozen Fish if I overcook and microwave it?
Power outage after a storm, and my (bar fridge) loses ''coldness after about 5 hours, when it reached the +- 20 hour mark with no power the food was COMPLETELY thawed (room temperature)
I then refroze it , and plan to:
Cook it for DOUBLE the recommended time, and then microwave for three minutes.
I know it will taste horrible, but will it be relatively safe to eat?
I literally can't afford to replace this between now and the next paycheck?
Either I eat it or have no supper.
item 1 Fish fingers(very processed)
2.Hake bakes(90 hake and 10 percent potato)
3. Potato wedges?

If your frozen food was truly room temperature at that point, I would have tossed it instead of refreezing it.
Cooking it for double the amount of time does nothing but further damage destroyed fish. Even if it didn't get all the way to room temp, fish turns mushy when refrozen because fish flesh is delicate.
If you think cooking the living daylights out of it will some how make it safe, sure...can you eat it after that?? maybe...what makes you think it won't be burnt?

The fish fingers should be fine even thawed, refrozen and cooked normally because those are normally precooked.. If the hake and potato was also precooked, they too are fine. If the hake was raw and reached room temperature and was then refrozen, you are taking a chance on recooking and eating it. The potato wedges should also be fine.

NO! it should have been cooked then and frozen after cooking. Toss anything you refroze!
