I'm sorry to hear about the surgical issues. Vaccuum sealed the
fish might make it okay. It probably isn't freezer burned. I was
thinking more about the texture, which may have suffered a bit in the
ensuing years.

I threw out a whole lot of frozen shrimp when I got to my parents house
and looked in the freezer. They didn't have a vacuum sealer, it was zip
lock freezer bags. Oh boy, no one would have wanted to cook that
shrimp! Out it went.

As I say, the texture may have suffered from being frozen that long.
But I really don't know. All you can do is try it and see what happens.
If not good, you really haven't lost anything. Good luck and please
do report back!
