my mom used to buy big fish and just cut it to pieces then place it in the freezer, i've notice that some of them stayed for a month already, is it still safe to eat?

100-120days, depending on it's size and the temperature it is kept at..

I have friends who are fanatic (and productive) fisherman. Virtually all of them freeze their fish in water. Which is to say: ziploc freezer bag, fish fillets, fill as much as possible with water, leave room for ice expansion. They easily go 6 months, some claim 12 months. At any rate, it won't go "bad" just lose taste at some point.
I am a fan of vaccum sealing my fresh meats if I plan on them being in the freezer a long time. That process is hard to beat IMHO. I have not done with fish however.

As long as it's wrapped well, fish should be good for 4 to 6 months in the freezer. As long as it's frozen it can't become unsafe to eat, it will only start to taste old.

Non-fatty fish up to six months. Don't put fatty fish like mackerel into the freezer. It won't keep more than a week. Non-fatty fish like bass if wrapped properly will keep for a half-year.

As long as the fish is well wrapped, and shows no signs of freezer burn, it will last pretty much indefinitely

We eat ours as long as it's been frozen, even if it's been a whole year lol..

90-120days, depending on how well it is wrapped and the temperature it is kept at.
