I guess people just prefer fresh food.
Plus they have the centuries-old traditions of drying, pickling, and preserving their food.
Then again, maybe it's because they tried it and they just don't like it. I can't say that I would blame them for that.
Frozen food has never become a tradition in Costa Rica for two reasons. One is the fact that most people have refrigerators with tiny freezers and the second is that many people have to travel a great distance to buy their food and by the time they got home, by bus or on foot, it would be mush.
