Ditto what NIMROD said. When I head to the fish cleaning house, I have an ice chest with my fish, electric knife, big tupperware bowl for final rinsing and cleaning the fillets, paper towels, quart size zip lock bags already marked with date and type of fish. To me it would be a hassle to tote an electric sealer along and have to set it up, clean it up and store it also. If you wash them fillets real well, put em in the baggies, fill with water, squeeze out the air by pushing down on the bag while zippin it closed, with no air bubbles, them fillets will be good for at least a year. If space in the freezer is an issue, then maybe the sealer would be worth it, but I have a deep freeze at the lake and at my house. I also make up some bags that will feed just my wife and I and label them accordingly. No wasted fish that way. I'd say the best way is whatever works for you. That's my two cents
