Freezing Fish

[Rick O Reel]

I wanted to get some good ideas or ways to freeze fish. I have always froze my fish in Gallon ziplock bags with enough water in bag to cover fish. Sometimes fins will poke holes in bag and end up double bagging seems like a waste. I know I could filet but do not always do that. Just looking for more ideas to put in up right freezer considering the room in one.

Vacuum bag your fish and they will do better.

I freeze mine in quart freezer bags. Push the air out while zipping it up, so no air pockets. I think this is the easiest way and have had no bad fish when it came time to fry!

Vacuum seal works good for both whole and filleted fish.

i put them in rubbermaid containers or the plastic margerine containers with water to cover it

i fillet mine with water in a gallon zip lock bag....The usually dont last more than a week or two. So i dont know about long time storage.

Let me suggest something that seems way too apparent , remove the fins before bagging.

Fillet and put in bag with water ,I've tried the vacuum seal and still like the bag with water better salt water fish and fresh water fish. Good idea Olgrey if want to leave em whole cut the fins off.

I have found fish in the back of the freezer that were 4yr old. And they were still good. We try to rotate new to the back old up front. But this one got lost somehow. This is the best way to do it.

i put mine in quart freezer bags with water and push air out by filling sink with water and pushing bags down under up to zipper works just like vacum air out
